The Leica Accessory guide agrees with Tony. The 14039 cover fits on the
12589 hood. Is apparently in stock used for $15. However I see that he has a
different cover in stock as well (shown as 14040). Maybe it changed along
the way?
Give Tony a call? 


Cheers

> As Sonny first reported, 14040 is the correct cover. I had to replace mine
as well when it went missing. My hood is 12589.

Adorama agrees with you. Whereas Popflash says the correct cover is 14039,
and B&H says that the 14040 is for the Summilux-R.

Harrison, I like your suggestion but I think I might try to generalize it a
little bit and make a hood cover out of sheet aluminum. I have access to a
shop with the right kind of metal bending machines, and a metal one might
not fall off so often.
