FAQs

Will this hood fit other 35mm Leica lenses?

No, this kit is precision-engineered specifically for the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH (Type II).

Does the hood include a cap?

Yes, the kit comes with a dedicated hood cap to protect the lens when not in use.

Can I use standard filters with this kit?

We strongly recommend using 39mm thin-frame filters to ensure proper fitment and compatibility with the hood assembly.

Is the hood made of plastic or metal?

The hood is constructed from lightweight 6063 aluminium for durability.

How do I clean the magnetic mount?

Use a soft brush or air blower to remove any dust or metallic particles from the magnetic surfaces.

Troubleshooting

The hood feels loose or rotates unexpectedly

Ensure the magnetic mount is clean of debris and that you have completed the final twist to lock the hood into the alignment-guided position.

Filter will not screw on properly

Verify that you are using a 39mm thin-frame filter. Standard thick-frame filters may prevent the hood from seating correctly.

Cons

Exclusive to the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH Type II

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first thread the adapter ring onto the lens front. Once secured, align the magnetic hood with the adapter. The alignment-guided system will snap into place with a slight twist to lock it.

Compatibility: This kit is strictly compatible with the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH (Type II). Ensure that any filters used are thin-frame models to avoid vignetting or fitment issues.

Care: Maintain the kit by wiping the aluminium components with a clean, microfiber cloth. If the magnetic contact points accumulate metallic debris, use a soft brush or air blower to ensure a secure, flush connection.
