And they are expensive! I just ordered a separate hood for my M 28 f2 asph (got it used with box but no hood Since I use the hood for protection as well as for stray light, the cost of the hood is insignificant to the price of a lens repair due to carelessness or unavoidable accident. So Leica providing them with the lens with cost built in is worth it to me. Buying the Zeiss lens and then having to track down the hood, since most dealers do not stock them (from past experience with other brands) and do not want to be bothered ordering them, is a waste of my time.
