Rectangular LH-1 Lens Hood for 21/4, 25/4 and 28/3.5

$45 Order Here

In September 2001 Cosina Voigtlander introduced a new rectangular metal shade for their 21/4 Color Skopar in Leica mount.  It will also fit the 25/4 and 28/3.5 Color Skopars in Leica mount, but not the 21/4 SC Skopar in Nikon Rangefinder mount.    I haven't done any tests of the standard round shade Vs the new much larger rectangular shade, but it stands to reason this much larger shade with its stepped interior will be additional flare protection.   If you like to shoot against the light, or with bright light sources outside of your frame, this may well be worth a look.

• The new shade consists of 3 parts: the rectangular body, a rotating threaded mount, and a chrome lock screw.
• Unscrew the round hood, you will probably find this easier with the lens cap attached
• Screw in the rectangular hood (it will rotate if the lock screw is loose)
• Rotate the rectangular hood until Voigtlander name is on top
• Lock down the hood with the set screw
• You can use filters, just by attaching them before you attach the hood
• Alas, so far there is no push on lens cap to go over this new hood
• To remove the round hood on your 21/4, 25/4, or 28/3.5 to mount the LH-1, leave the lens cap ON the lens when you unscrew the lens hood.

Although the hood is wide enough for 21, it will also fit the 25/4 and 28/3.5.  

Due to the female threads on this shade which fit the external male threads on the Voigtlander 21/4, 25/4, and 28/3.5 Leica Screw mount Voigtlander lenses, the LH-1 will fit only these lenses, NOT the same Voigtlander lenses in Nikon Rangefinder mount, nor any Leica made lenses.
