I’ve now got my 35 Classic minus hood. Could someone who has one please measure the length/width of their hood so that I can try to get something similar. I know it’s a 58mm screw thread.

Found this on Amazon…

Are your lenses M or E-mount version? If the latter, the lens' hard stop can't be perfect because of the lower flange distance tolerance with Sony bodies.

When you say "the lower flange distance tolerance with Sony bodies," you mean that the Sony flange distance tolerances are tighter? Or looser?

The (original) hood for my FE 35/1.4 Classic measures 70mm diagonally. It's only 18mm deep.

Flange distance tolerance is not as tight with AF mirrorless cameras because it's not really needed. The infinity distance does not have to be as precise with AF lenses. With the Leica M body, this is more crucial as the lens distance must be aligned with the rangefinder.

Resurrecting this thread. I have a chance to buy a 35 1.4, but there is no hood with the lens. Looking at the LH-6, it doesn't appear to the same thing as it it slotted/vented.

Can someone confirm this lens does actually come with a hood and, if so, whether there is a part number for it?

Thanks!

I think its the same hood that goes with 40mm 1.2, please correct me if I'm wrong.

There is one here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185703584861

Anyone still using 35 Classic on Sony?

I use it adapted to the A9 with the TechArt EA9 AF adapter sometimes. Works great on the Sony.

Thanks. I gone different path and got 50G and Tamron 35-150 since then.

Not sure if I will be thinking of 35 Classic again soon.
