A New York Leitz-made FLQOO hood. Brass with a black paint finish, fitted with a chrome screw. Its dimensions are almost identical to the German-made FLQOO, but the most notable difference is the engraving, which reads Elmar 50mm. Of course, it can also be used with the Elmar 35mm and Summaron 35mm. Fits A36 size lenses.

Compared with the German version, the front rim of the hood is thinner, and the sleeve section that secures to the lens is shorter. The retaining screw is slightly smaller in diameter, and the knurling is chamfered only on the outer side, whereas the FLQOO is chamfered on both shoulders.

The more you learn and the more you compare, the more fascinating Leitz accessories become.

Previously sold by our shop. It was carefully used by its owner and has now returned to us once again.

There is paint loss on the edges such as the rim of the hood, along with some small bubbles in the finish, giving it a lovely, well-aged character. A very slight distortion can be seen at the front edge. It has been test-fitted on lenses such as the Elmar and confirmed to mount properly.

While being prepared for sale, it was purchased in our store. Thank you very much.
