While the 12592 hood is the proper lens hood when using a filter with
the 28-35-50 Tri-Elmar-M F4, since I do not use a UVa or Skylight filter
on the lens, I find using a "blank" 55mm filter ring a most efficient
and useful "lens hood."  Just get a B&H UVa 55 mm filter, remove the
filter by either rotating the glass counterclockwise or use a little
ball peen hammer, remove the filter retaining ring inside the filter
ring, and viola:  a blank black filter ring that makes for a very nice
"hood." Hope this helps.
