richard jepsen Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Will the heavystar 40mm hood fit a 40mm Minolta CLE M-Rokkor? Crap I lost the rubber hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikhaugsby Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The lens has 40.5mm threads, so I say try to find a filter with 40.5mm threads. The 40mm would wobble within the threads, if not fall out entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

back_alley_. Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 'american eagle' on ebay has a nice metal vented hood in 40.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The Heavystar vented hoods work fine, and look good too. One version accepts a clip-on lens cap (52) on the front, if required. A small ground-glass screen (or one made from plexiglas, etc) helps check for vignetting at the film plane. AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
