- Replica of the Leitz reference: Designed after the original FISON lens hood in A36 format for the Elmar 5cm f/3.5.
- Compatible with modern filters: The integrated 37mm front thread accepts common ND, UV, or color filters – instead of the hard-to-find A36 clip-on filters.
- Reduces flares in backlight: The simple optical design of the Elmar 5cm is prone to stray light – the hood blocks side light.
- Protects the front lens: The attachment absorbs shocks before they reach the soft glass of the vintage optics.

Description
The Leica Elmar 5cm is a classic but suffers from sensitivity to backlight and the now exotic A36 filter size. This lens hood addresses both: it slips onto the 36mm front ring and blocks side light. The clever part is the integrated 37mm front thread – allowing you to adapt modern ND, UV, or color filters to your vintage lens. The clamp holds securely without scratching the historic metal.
