Black version of the FISON lens hood for the Elmar 50mm. A36 size.
Black paint finish. The spring clip that attaches to the lens and the hood section itself are made of aluminum, while the outer base ring is made of brass. A rather unusual variation. The weight is approximately 9.6g, making it extremely lightweight. The retaining screw is brass with chrome plating.
The engravings on the hood section read Elmar 5cm and Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in two lines, with Germany engraved on the opposite side. A hood generously marked with plenty of lettering.
Rare item.
Paint loss from use can be seen. It has aged nicely and would pair beautifully with a well-used black paint body.
Tested and confirmed to mount properly on an Elmar. As it was manufactured to fit pre-war Elmars, it may mount tightly on some post-war versions such as the Red Elmar.
