<< My 50 Summicron's hood is very loose. If I walk around with it it gets 
 pushed in time after time. Any little bump seems to do it. And I'm pretty 
 careful. 
 
 I've seen the stacked filter ring approach mentioned and it should work 
 fine. I want a plastic/hard rubber hood for impact absorbtion. Maybe it 
 makes a difference, maybe not. I've even had thoughts of (don't laugh or 
 gag) finding the just right little piece of rubber hose (black, of 
 course) and glueing it onto a filter ring or slipping it over the factory 
 hood.
 
 Maybe I'll look today. 
 
 Wow, a piece of radiator hose would make about 20 lens shade/bumpers. 
 Won't that look nice with little threads hanging off the end and blue 
 writing down the side:)
 
 I've currently got messages out looking for someone to make a nice 
 machined focus tab for the 50 Summicron. It'll be like the one on the 
 current 35 and attach semi-permanently. Anybody else want one?

Hey Henry, I really love the water hose idea . How couln't I think about it ? 
Once I thought about enclosing my M6 into a full rollcage , just like my 
Chevy Nova's cage !
I think I should mix a little bit more my 2 best Hobbies : Photagraphy and 
Drag racing .
Thanks for the trigger.
