Snapped a couple pics of the difference between the OEM Voigtlander hood vs. the Haoge hood from Amazon. I really thought I would like the Voigt hood, but I find it kinda ugly and it's also $110.
Voigtlander hood is taller and can be seen on camera in pic #2

The lh-12 is a brilliant hood - it provides excellent shading from both light and rain. I understand it may be too large for some but it owes its great performance to its size. It is also hard to use with a polarising filter.
What is the part number for the hoage hood? I’d like to check it out.

The hood in this thread is LH-VM13P. Hoage say it’s a bayonet design to replace LH-12 or LH-4N.
They also make LH-VM12 and LH-VM11 which fit bayonet 39mm filter lenses like the LH-VM13P. These would be more suitable for 28mm/ 35mm/ 50mm lenses. To me the LH-VM13P is like Voigtlander’s LH-11 which they make for their 21mm lenses. They used to make LH-1 which is a clamp on design made for 21mm/ 25mm lenses.
I am firm believer in hoods to protect from flare, particles - dust/ rain, fingers and knocks. All lenses should come with them.

I recently picked up the LH-VM13 to replace my VM12 on the 28mm Ultron II. Huge upgrade on VF blockage for me. Though the VM13 went on weird at first, (difficult) it now seems to move freely off and on.
