[Leica] Lens hood cover question

[len-001 at verizon.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Brian,

As Sonny first reported, 14040 is the correct cover. I had to replace  
mine as well when it went missing. My hood is 12589. I believe there  
are a couple different hoods that fit the 35mm 1.4 Asph. Get the  
right one.
