Early model hood for the Elmar 35mm f3.5, with the engraving done in three steps and featuring inlaid silver. It is a screw-on style (A36) and is made of brass with a black paint finish. The hood is equipped with rare nickel-plated screws.
Though designed for the Elmar 35mm, it has been tested and can also be used with other lenses like the Summaron 35mm, Elmar 50mm, and others. The hood is a stylish and elegant accessory that perfectly complements the lenses. Its simple design enhances the appearance of any lens it is paired with, showcasing Leica's craftsmanship.
This hood shows signs of being well-used over the years, with noticeable paint wear and some bubbles, but it has a great patina. The very tip of the hood shows slight distortion, but the attachment area for the lens remains unaffected. It has been confirmed to fit the Elmar 35mm f3.5. This is a relatively rare hood.
