Uh, my Summicron-M (3618537;- yes, I have the receipt from Chatterton,
and a duplicate stored in a different location!) came with the 12538
hood and not the 12585. It is clip-on, vented, and reversible, and
bears the notation "M50/2". And it also uses the 14033 cap.
What's the difference between the 12585 and 12538 lens hoods?
