FAQs

Does this kit work with other Leica lenses?

No, this kit is exclusively designed for the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH (Type II).

Can I use standard-thickness filters with this hood?

It is recommended to use 39mm thin-frame filters to ensure there is no mechanical interference or vignetting.

Is the hood made of plastic or metal?

The hood is crafted from durable 6063 aluminium.

Does the hood cap fit directly onto the lens?

The included hood cap is designed to fit the magnetic hood assembly.

How do I clean the magnetic mount?

Use a soft, dry brush to remove any dust or particles from the magnetic surface to ensure the connection remains strong.

Troubleshooting

Hood feels loose when attached

Ensure the adapter ring is screwed fully onto the lens filter threads and check that the bayonet mount is twisted completely into the locked position.

Filter is stuck inside the adapter

Avoid over-tightening filters. Use a standard lens filter wrench to gain leverage if the thin-frame filter becomes seized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick magnetic attachment/detachment mechanism
  • Compatible with standard 39mm thin-frame filters
  • Durable 6063 aluminium construction
  • Provides physical barrier against dust, moisture, and impact
  • Tailored design ensures no vignetting on the Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH

Cons

  • Requires adapter ring installation for hood mounting
  • Specific to the Type II lens model
  • Adds length to the lens profile compared to using no hood

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, first screw the threaded adapter ring securely onto the 39mm filter threads of your Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH (Type II). Once the adapter is seated, simply align the magnetic hood with the adapter and twist to lock it in place.

Compatibility Note: This kit is precision-engineered specifically for the Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH (Type II). Attempting to mount this on other lens models may result in incorrect fit or mechanical interference.

Care Instructions: Keep the magnetic connection points free of metal debris or sand to ensure a smooth twist-lock engagement. Clean the aluminium components with a dry, lint-free cloth. If the hood becomes exposed to salt spray or dust, gently wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry fully before storing it in your camera bag.
