Lens hoods

All LEICAFLEX lenses have their functionally designed lens hood. It should always be used as a matter of course, because it effectively protects the lens against stray light and flare as well as against raindrops and fingermarks.

On the wide-angle and standard lenses the lens hood is attached with the white dot facing white dot and locked by a clockwise turn. To unlock it, slightly raise the lens hood and turn it anti-clockwise to remove it. The lens hood of these lenses also serves as adapter for series filters.

On long-focal-length lenses the lens hood is permanently fixed and can be extended like a telescope.
