Hi all,
This is my first post in years: I used to hang out here a whole bunch back in the early 00s. I probably don't know many folks still around, but this was always my fav forum for Leica info back then. I am wondering if there might be someone who can use their eagle-Leica-eyes to ID something for me. I recently bought a nice Summicron 40 from ebay, and it's coming with a step-up ring and hood I can't identify. I asked the seller for some info on what the ring stepped up to, and he just replied "series 5.5." That doesn't make a ton of sense, and that's the odd filter size that Leica used for the 40 itself, right? (i.e. e39 with the different thread pitch). Anyway, here's the only pic of the hood I have:

The ring looks sorta like a Leica 11251 maybe? Anyone else recognize the ring or hood? Obviously I'll learn more when I receive it, but in the meantime I can entertain myself with speculation. :)
Best,
Joe
