SOOHN. A lens hood for the Hektor 28mm made by Leitz New York. The retaining screw is chrome. The construction differs slightly from the German-made Wetzlar version. While the interior of the hood is matte-coated, it lacks the fine ribbing and has a more textured, filled-in finish, almost as if it were covered with putty.
Though some Leitz New York SOOHN hoods are made from lightweight aluminum, this one is brass with black paint. There is no "28mm" engraving on the base. The simple trumpet-shaped design suits the flat Hektor lens perfectly, making it an elegant and stylish accessory.
This rare piece, true to New York Leitz products, has a somewhat less refined finish compared to the German-made version, but that adds to its charm. The black paint remains intact with no noticeable wear, making this a particularly well-preserved New York-made SOOHN hood.
It has been tested and confirmed to fit the Hektor lens.
