Subject: [Leica] Can anyone measure an A36 Summaron hood for me?

Hi all.

I've just acquired a very nice 3.5cm/3.5 LTM Summaron with the A36 
front for my 1926/27 factory converted Leica III No. 4387. Luckily I 
have the Leitz b/l finder already. However, I do not have the A36 
Elmar/Summaron hood, which I think goes under the interesting Leitz 
code of FOOKH.

I do have a spare A36 5cm Elmar hood, and I'm just wondering whether 
I can get away with it without the Summaron vignetting, especially if 
I use it without a filter, which presumably would add quite a bit of 
depth anyway.

If some kind person has a FOOKH out there, would they mind measuring 
its overall depth (in mm.) so I can compare it with the hood I have.

Best

Alex
