If so I have a > new, never used chrome that I could let go. Steve, I believe the hood is a screw on type; the chrome would be 12549 (thanks, Mr. Collier!); there's one available on KEH (LN-) for $43. I'm looking for black (figure the chrome would look silly on my black summi). Sorry you missed Artscape this year--there's always next. I'm going to keep a better eye out for events in Baltimore and DC and make more of an effort to attend them; for street shooting, they're a photog's dream. Folks get distracted enough by the events and performances that they really don't seem to notice or care that you're taking photos; no matter how close I got (and I got very close, at times even hitting the min. focusing distance on the 50), not one person avoided me or--worse--posed. I saw lots of other photogs at the event, but no one else with a Leica. I did manage to spot an old Contax, a Ricoh, and a classic Cannon RF. But most everyone else had SLRs. One lucky chap had a D1 slung over one shoulder and an F5 over the other. Dan
