Dear Richard, I have had the same problem with the hood on my Summicron 40. B+W makes a collapsible lens hood 39 E (order # 900) which fits the Summicron thread and then Leica lens cap 11252 will fit into the hood when it is collapsed. When the rubber shade is extended it has a more cupped shape than the original shade amd might cause some vignetting on slides when the lens is wide open but I have not noticed this problem in my pictures shooting prints.
