Subject: [Leica] Does the Minolta 40mm f2 hood fit the Summicron 40mm f2 lens?

Vick, there is at least one alternate solution to the hood issue. I have 
more or less followed the instruction here:

http://myweb.lmu.edu/sshepherd/Summicron40Hood.htm

using a filed-down adapter ring 11251 to enable me to use a regular 
12585 hood on the Summicron 40.

Nice lens.
