Can anyone recommend a good lens hood for the f/4 90mm collapsible Elmar? Thanks in advance, Chris

What is the filter size on that lens? B&H sells small rubber collabsable hoods in 39mm size.

Accordng to Lager, all BM 90mm Elmars (rigid & collapsible) use 39mm filters & hoods. Original hood is the IUFOO (12575).

As far as non Leica accessories I think Stephen Gandy of www.cameraquest.com fame is selling metal screwing 39mm hoods under his Leica accessories section. They are for 35/50's though. He's only just got them in and will be posting information on his site this soon.

The new Voigtlander 90 APO's hood will work? That uses 39mm thread I think.

Cheers.
