I was able to find a US supplier of similar hoods on ebay. Try
searching for "metal lens hood."

- 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.

I clear that shade, then attach the step-up ring and
the 67 mm. filter. Can anyone think if another way?
Yes, just buy a short Heliopan hood, they are threaded
top and bottom like a neat stack of filters with the
glass punched out :-)
