Nathan,
I don't own a Noctilux, but Erwin Puts's web site lists your P/N 12519
as the lens hood for the E58 filter thread Noctilux, for which it also
shows the P/N 14205 as the appropriate lens cap. But it does NOT list
any lens hood cover, and from that omission, one might infer that none
ever existed. Perhaps someone else will give you a more authoritative
answer. Happy Noctiluxing!

Subject: [Leica] Lenshood cover for Noctilux

Friends,
Having just become a happy owner of a Noctilux, I want to protect its
large and expensive front element when not in use. The lens came with a
lenshood but no lens cap or lenshood cover. The standard E60 lens cap
does not fit. The lenshood is the twist-off type, code 12519. Does
anyone know if there is a cover for it, similar to the lenshood covers
for the 24mm Elmarit or 35mm Summicron? Lucien has suggested trying a
standard lens cap from another brand, but I think Leica plastic is
preferable ;-)
