jeff voorhees Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I am wondering whether a filter would interfere with the hood. I have not yet seen one of these hoods in person and it kind of looks as though a filter screwed onto the front of the lens might interfere with the attachment of the hood. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennS Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I've got a Leitz barn door hood and it fits over standard Leitz E39 filters with no problem. You'll have problems if you use larger filters with a step up ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan flanders Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 In my experience a Leitz E39 screw-in filter does NOT interfere with the mounting of the 'barn door' shade. IMMAO the barn-door, used judiciously with the Summicron, it will effectively limit flare except in the most extreme situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes, there is a small (one millimeter or less) lip on the front of the hole in the hood, which fits against the front of the lens. But, at least a vintage Leica E39 filter is smaller than the front outside diameter of the lens head, and fits through the hole in the lip of the SOOFM just fine. A hood that was as large in diamter as the 42mm outside diameter of the lens head WOULD be a problem. The hood would no longer be able to go back far enough to catch on the locking groove. But a 39mm filter that is 42mm in outside diameter would be quite generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff voorhees Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Perfect! I figured this was the case but I wanted to be sure. Thank you all for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan_hon Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I wonder if the barndoor hood will fit on my 50/3.5 Elmar m-mount as well. Any idea? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Pan, it will fit, but isn't practical to use because the ELmar is in a rotating mount. The Elmar flares so little, that it generally doesn't need a hood, or at most a short round one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan_hon Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks for your recommendation. I shall try the original Leitz chrome hood for elmar, which is also quite small in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
