Some lens hoods, like the detachable ones for the earlier 75mm Summilux and 50mm Noctilux, for just two examples, include cut-outs along their back peripheral edges that let you look through that part of those hoods when it appears in the viewfinder, thereby minimize the problem, but there is still some obstruction with any large or long lens.

I was strictly an SLR person before this (Nikon F3, N80) and losing TTL viewing was one thing, but losing a 1/4 of the viewfinder was a bit much for me. I am using a Summicron-M 50/2 now and loving it (amazingly sharp) but I'd also like to try a Noctilux. I am afraid of the same problem with its 60mm filter size. Am I missing something here, or is this just something that you all live with? Thanks, Peter
