LENS HOOD
The lens includes a detachable lens hood (10).
To attach, the thread protection ring (8) must first be unscrewed
(anticlockwise). The lens hood is then screwed on as far as possible
(clockwise). The special design of the thread and the lens front mount (7)
– with stop – ensures that the lens hood is correctly aligned. This
guarantees that the lens hood does not impair the optical path of the lens or
the distance meter, i.e. it prevents vignetting in the image and shadowing in
the distance meter measuring field.
When the camera is being carried ready to shoot and during actual use, the
lens hood should always remain fitted. It provides effective protection
against contrast-reducing stray light and also against damage and soiling of
the front lens, e.g. from accidental fingerprints.
Note:
The lens hood must always be screwed on as far as possible.
FILTERS
E46 screw-on filters can be used on the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4
ASPH. A corresponding UVa filter is available from Leica.
The universal polarizing filter can also be used. The option of pivoting the
filter in front of the viewfinder allows you to control the effect through the
camera’s viewfinder without making any additional settings.
