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.

I have just bought one of those from mbp Europe. Really hope I'll like it (judging by the fact that I do like "funny/funky" lenses - like the Canon Dream Lens or the TTArtisan Bubble Bokeh 2.8/100).

A bit of size comparison and fit to the Sony A7Cr camera body.

Hard to find here in UK a second hand 35/1.4.
Would love to have it again, for that classic character look, but better copy than I had in the past. Mine was super soft, terrible...
I wonder if its better to order new, or keep lurking for a used one...

I have bought mine from mpb-Europe. It was the only one they had for sale.
I have looked on ebay and found a couple from Japan or USA, but nothing on this side of the pond.
I have also checked few dealers from Germany and Austria, for a new copy, but found none.
Not quite sure why, to be honest.

I like mine, so far. Besides, it is my only 35mm lens. Like like "character" lenses and I like small lenses.
I am so glad that I can use the A7Cr with all my MF lenses (I was really sceptical about its EVF usability for manual focusing).
