B&H Photo has a 43-49 step up ring for $9.95 or a Tiffen brand for $11.95

They also have a rubber generic 43mm hood for $5.95 and a "standard" lens hood for 46mm and over.

I apologise in advance for the non OM content but will be very appreciative for any list feedback. ....... off-list if possible.

Is there anyone on the list who has a supply of the following bits and pieces:

1. Screw in lens hood with a 43mm thread and suitable for a 50mm or wide angle lens.

I have acquired several B+W 43mm filters for a 50mm / f 1.4 Summilux lens. These are slightly thicker than the original Leitz 43mm filters and as a consequence:

1. The clamping mechanism on the original 50 / 1.4 hood does not hold in place in the channel at the end of the lens barrel as it does if the original Leitz 43mm filters are screwed into the lens.

2. With the original hood held in place by clamping itself against the B+W filter there is a chance of vignetting when shooting the 50 / 1.4 wide open or at f 2. Also, the hood is likely to fall off!

2. Step up ring from 43mm to 49mm. With this step up ring I could find a regular 49mm lens hood.

All and any help will be very much appreciated.
