Subject: [Leica] Lens hood question

Thanks Scott, those are the some of the ones I referred to as tulip shaped, 
vented models.
I'm looking for a source for a cylindrical screw in or clip in hood as small 
a diameter as I can use with a 50. (not much bigger
diameter than the lens barrel).

Cheers
Hoppy

There's  guy on ebay who sells new metal vented shades for
around $11 or so last time I checked.  Supports a host of filter
sizes, certainly E39.
