FYI all my CV 28 Ultron pics were taken with a B+W filter and no lens hood. The pic of the bikes was taken through the shop window which was not exactly clean! Those lights are the street lights reflected behind me.
I did order the Haoge lens hood via Amazon - which is a CV knock off. I already have one for my CV 35 1.4 v2 and cannot tell the difference in quality vs the real thing. With lenses which have really good flare protection like the CV I pretty much just use them to keep my sticky little fingers off the glass. ...Show more →
The LH-12 also fits the CV 28/2 II but since it's not ventilated, there is more RF blockage. It looks really cool though.

Anyway, quick lunch break so I did a very scientifically lackadaisical vignette comparo with all my 28s.
Shot wide open - which is from f2 to f 5.6 depending on lens. All profiles turned off. Exposure manually corrected to match across images as best as I could given my laissez-faire attitude.

I'm returning the Haoge LH-12. It sits slightly crooked - as many reviews have mentioned - which is annoyingly bothersome. Just as well really, as it really blocks a lot of the VF. May try the circular LH-11 version.

FYI the first two pics were shot with the sun just out of frame, with no lens hood, but with a B+W mrc UV filter.
So pretty much the worst case scenario for lens flare (I wasn't going to take the filter off being on a windy beach), and yet this CV lens frankly did awesome.

Sharpie does not work. it's too shiny (reflective) and the camera mount scanner rejects it (at least the newer models). You must get an opaque/matte black color. I prefer using paint and a very thin brush. If the mount is chrome, you don't need to paint white, only black. It's a 5 min. job.
I use the small "Testors" paint. I may start a thread explaining the process with more detail.
As you can see from the picture, the Voigtlander rear mount has a recessed area where you can add the paint and it won't rub off.
Hi Fred,
Did you start a thread explaining your coding process? If so where can I find it? Thanks.
I just got the Haoge replica Voigtlander lens hood. This one is perfect - bayonet attachment, super quality. This lens is very flare free already, this is more to keep my fingers off the glass, and so I can leave the lens cap at home. The rectangular version did not sit straight, and blocked more of the vf.
Just did a hard vignette test - pointed it at a white wall at f22 @ infinity and at min focus distance. No issues.
