A dedicated lens hood for the W-Nikkor 35mm f1.8 in Leica screw mount, a lens renowned for its superb rendering. Made of plastic.

It has a different filter diameter from the round hood for the Nikon S-mount Nikkor 35mm f1.8, and they are not compatible.

The L-mount 35mm f1.8 lens itself was produced in limited numbers and is already quite difficult to find, but this plastic hood is even rarer and is very seldom seen on the market.

Square-shaped plastic construction. The inner surface is lined with black velvet, showing a surprisingly careful level of craftsmanship. A rare item.

Minor scuffs and small scratches can be seen, but there are no cracks and it remains in good condition. The velvet lining on the inside is also in nice shape.
Which came first, the lens or the hood — that is the question, haha!
