I was about to suggest that. However, those hoods have become hard to find - at least for me - can't find 'em here in the US and the connection I had in the UK no longer lists them. Do you have a source?
BTW, until I found a better hood than the stock one for my 50/summicron, I did just what Joe has suggested. I ended up with some Heliopan hoods, and they worked great.
