  • Replacement for the original lens hood: corresponds to the original Leica rubber lens hood No. 12518.
  • Correct special thread: Series 5.5 (39 mm × 0.75 mm pitch) — standard E39 accessories will damage the lens thread here.
  • Contrast instead of flare: blocks stray light from the side and protects the front lens element from impacts.

Compatibility

  • Leica Summicron-C 40mm f/2
  • Leica Summicron-C 90mm f/4
  • Not suitable for: Minolta M-Rokkor 40mm (as it has a 40.5mm thread)

Scope of delivery

  • 1x lens hood (Series 5.5 thread)

Technical details

  • Material: engineering plastic
  • Color: Black
  • Mount: 39mm x 0.75 (Series 5.5)

Description

A 39mm lens hood does not automatically fit your Leica 40mm: The filter thread on the Summicron-C 40mm does not correspond to the common E39 standard (0.5 mm pitch), but instead follows the “Series 5.5” standard with a steeper thread pitch (0.75 mm). Screwing standard accessories onto it risks damaging the thread.

This lens hood is precisely designed for this special size — as a replacement for the original Leica rubber lens hood No. 12518. It screws on smoothly, blocks stray light and preserves the classic look of your equipment.
