I have a Summicron with a rectangular lens hood and a (round) lens cap.
You can't use them both at the same time. I keep the lens hood on most of
the time, even though it acts as sort of a dust scoop. The only time I've
used the lens cap is when I boxed the thing up to send to Leica USA for one
of their CLA specials.
