They are available at B&H, among other places. I've seen them in camera stores. I got mine at Glazer's in Seattle. See http://www.optechusa.com/lens.htm Scroll to the bottom. The site has dealer links. They mention Ritz, which owns every camera store it the U.S. except five or six, so you should be able to locate them fairly easily. If not, the manufacturer will take your order. I have no direct connection with Optech, just a satisfied customer, blah blah blah. I have a hood hat on my 50 Summicron with vented shade. - --Peter Klein Seattle, WA - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
