		Yes, given the front element's varying recess (according to
the focal length set) within the lens barrel, the Tri-Elmar is said to be
its own hood.  But of course the accessory clip-on hood supplements that
capability, and I must say I like it.

		Henry,

		The Tri-Elmar (#11625) is not supplied with a lens hood.
The hood you
		require is #12450.  This hood can be reversibly mounted when
not in use, but
		the original front cap can longer be used.  I use a generic
E49 front cap
		instead.

		Unless a filter is used, I don't think the use of a hood is
as critical as
		for other lenses, since the front element is quite recessed.

		E-mail me off list if you require further information.

		Regards,

		Joseph
