Cool overview and some additional knowledge, thanks Thorsten! A few years ago I bought one of your E39 vented shades which seems to have got a dent somehow. So it must have saved my lens. But I’ve really enjoyed using it. Due to the shape or the concept it makes setting the aperture on the lens a bit fiddly, although there is just enough space for my fingers behind the shade, but I still do not mind that since it is a part of the charm. Just like the advance lever on my M-A, or the fiddly-by-design focusing ring of the Summaron F/5.6. That lens also has a very special rectangular clip-/screw-on shade, very classic and unique. I kind of like varying lens shades and using yours is one more experience of using my lens, not just a pretty face :). It adds to the full experience. Hard to explain but you have to try. Due to the dent on mine though I should probably get another one :).

Thank you. Welcome!

Circular lenshoods regardless of make or design are at best a compromise and more often than not pretty useless. I am more infavour of a lenshood that has an opening proportional to the format of the camera. This takes some calculations to arrive at the dimensions of the aperture, but it is the most effective way of controlling stray light entering a lens. This also enables the lenshood to be so small as to be almost unobtrusive. Leica itself have some of this type of hood on tehir Q series of cameras.

My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 104 and I used a conical metal hood with yellow filter! Thanks for an interesting and informative video!

I first found out about these lens hoods looking for one on Amazon

You just have a lens hood/shade fettish lol but I have to agree, the ventilated models look beautiful. She standard plastic square ones on the m lenses are the most ugliest on the market I think, the one on my summilux 35 I didn't even use for that reason. All the best Thorsten.

Nice bit of history, thanks. I noticed one of connectors was in the corner with the viewfinder in one of the screw on demos. Can’t this be avoided?

Excellent tutorial video

James Ravilious had also "hooded" his lenses too, to better control flare.

I dropped my Q2 and the lens hood saved the lens but it caused a glitch/dead pixels in the EVF but doesn’t show up in the photos.

Um, not to be critical, but it's "vented," not "ventilated." In English, "ventilated" means "to cause air to enter and circulate freely," which is not the purpose of a lens shade with holes in the sides. "Vented" means "having an opening or openings," which, as you described, applies to holes to decrease obstruction of the viewfinder.

Im interested in the 39mm Lens hood in BRASS for my 40mm summicron. When will you have them in stock

I like them in Menthol best.

Looks nice,but has no function against the flair. There is no particular reason to be used then on range finder to avoid blocking the view finder and to protect front element against bumps.I use them on my Fujifilm X-pro's ,Contax G and Leica.

Hi Thorsten do you make one for the 18mm Super Elmar?

@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard

2 жыл бұрын

I don't think any of the fits. The 18mm have outside filter to hold the Leica-made square lens shade, and hen a filter holder as the 18mm lens doesn't have a filter tread. I susped the 3514FLE shade would fit, but then the shade would be in the way as the 18mm is wider. So he short answer is no.

Hello. I ordered a shade from you for the Q2M on April 24. It was backordered at the time. Can you give me an update on shipping? Thank you.

Hi Thorsten , what ventilated hood should I order for a 28 summicron asph 11604 ? I’d like to be able to continue to use the 46mm filters i have for it . Thanks !

The ventilated shades all comes with a filter thread on the front larger than the original one, and a step-down ring so you can still use the original filters either on front of the shade or stack them behind the shade.

Do you have a lens hood that fits the Leica 90mm Elmartiz lens from decades ago ??

If you mean Leica no 11830, the E39 ventilated shade should fit. Or the original Leitz clip-on metal hood IUFOO (12575)

If "all ventilated shades are back in stock again" now why has my order from early May 2021 not been delivered by now in the latter half of October 2021?

Why is your lens hood for the Leica Q ventilated?

I got mine for the Q maybe a year after ordering it. Of course the ventilated shade is unnecessary on the Q because it has an electronic viewfinder. My bad.

@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, 10 months it took. the matte shade you got for the Q was on backorder. We couldn't get to the factory for ... an unreal long time of 16 months. In any case, all shades are in stock again, so it's slightly faster :-)

They were designed for rangefinder cameras with wide angle lenses like Thorsten indicates. I was wondering why they were being used with SLRs and thought perhaps they had other uses or advantages. Besides perhaps being a little lighter there does not seem to be any other purpose than to be able to look through them.

No reason for the ventilated feature, but the look great on some lenses. And they are metal and study, and generally much more compact than the larger plastic ones you get with SLR lenses.
