Johm, I have both an IROOA, which lives on my 50mm DR and a 12504, which lives on my 35 'cron second version. I bought that lens new in about 1972 and the 12504 came with it. Neither fits well on the 35mm 'cron first version with eyes that I recently got. That is, they fit, but they rotate much too freely as though the hood isn't locking into quite the right spot. (This seems to be true both with and without a filter attached.) I'll look for an ITDOO or, failing that, a 12585. I think it was on Erwin's site that I saw the reference to the 12538.
