Laney's Leica > Accessories Guide says it's for all 35mm and 50mm lenses. > However, it isn't what came with my 35mm f/2 Summicron. 12585 was made for the DR/Rigid Summicron, the first 8-glass 35/2 Summicron and the 35/2,8 Summaron. It is the only hood I use with each of those lenses. I believe the first 35/1,4 Summilux had a shallower hood (don't have the number to hand) as I think 12585 causes some vignetting at the larger apertures on this lens. And I think for the 35/1,4 Summiclux ASPH you need the hood specially made for it.
