Ha. I HATE these new tulip lens hoods. I use a polarizing filter almost
always, and with the darn lens hoods on you cannot rotate them. I prefer a
screw on lens hood that rotates the filter as you turn it. but, with a zoom,
they are almost ineffective since you can only use a very short hood. As is
the tulip hood - only good for widest angle. Zoom lenses are a new thing for
me. Only in the past 3 years. So, not shown in any of the photos, my hand or
hat makes a very effective lens hood when the sun is hitting the lens. I have
been thinking of cutting a slit in the hood that will line up with the filter
so maybe I could get my finger in there to rotate the filter, kind of like what
I understand the lens hood for the Leica 24mm is like. Never seen one, but
from what I understand, you can rotate a polarizer through the hood. If I
modify a hood successfully, I'll show the group.

Great composite photo. I see that I am not up there. I thought I was from
long ago, but I guess not. so, Steve, here are 3 pages of photos of me taken
my by wife, Margie, since she got her camera.
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/Me/?g2_page=1 to start out the pages.
Steve. Have your pick to post on the "some leica photographers" page.

Hi Aram!
Thanks for these... we've "spoken" many times, over many years... and it's
nice to finally be able to put a face to the name!
My picks (if I had the choice) would be 200802 or 200806 (which shows your
face).
I really like 230969, which shows the proper use of a lens hood.... always
good for an educator to set a good example! ;-)
Cheers!
