Re: [Leica] 40/2 Lens Question

     Richard,
     
     I was able to get a hood new from Leica USA recently.  I dealt with 
     Mr. Dave Elwell at (201) 767-5728.
     
     Caps are available in virtually new condition from KEH Camera Brokers, 
     who lists it as follows: "FRONT 35.5 14191 THIN PLASTIC (CL) LN $10."  
     The "14191" is the cap's part number, and the "35.5" I take to be the 
     inner dimension of the hood, into which the cap snaps (i.e., the cap 
     requires the hood to attach to).
     
     KEH's phone number is (404) 892-5522, and their website address is 
     www.keh.com.  Other dealers have the caps as well.
     
     Hope that helps,
     
     Art Peterson

Dear Fellow LUGnuts,
     
I just received a great condition used 40/2 Summicron to go with a Leica 
CL.  The original rubber collapsable lens shade is a bit under the weather.
 Its probably 20-25 years old by now.  
     
Are replacement screw in rubber shades available or even a cap for the 
front of the lens?
     
Thanks,
     
Richard
