All ventilated shades by "ALWAYS WEAR A CAMREA" are back in stock again now: www.overgaard.dk/Thorsten-von-Overgaard-Gallery-Store-Hardware-for-Photography-and-Leica-Lenses-and-Cameras.html
Um, not to be critical, but it's "vented," not "ventilated." In English, "ventilated" means "to cause air to enter and circulate freely," which is not the purpose of a lens shade with holes in the sides. "Vented" means "having an opening or openings," which, as you described, applies to holes to decrease obstruction of the viewfinder.
Cool overview and some additional knowledge, thanks Thorsten! A few years ago I bought one of your E39 vented shades which seems to have got a dent somehow. So it must have saved my lens. But I’ve really enjoyed using it. Due to the shape or the concept it makes setting the aperture on the lens a bit fiddly, although there is just enough space for my fingers behind the shade, but I still do not mind that since it is a part of the charm. Just like the advance lever on my M-A, or the fiddly-by-design focusing ring of the Summaron F/5.6. That lens also has a very special rectangular clip-/screw-on shade, very classic and unique. I kind of like varying lens shades and using yours is one more experience of using my lens, not just a pretty face :). It adds to the full experience. Hard to explain but you have to try. Due to the dent on mine though I should probably get another one :).
Circular lenshoods regardless of make or design are at best a compromise and more often than not pretty useless. I am more infavour of a lenshood that has an opening proportional to the format of the camera. This takes some calculations to arrive at the dimensions of the aperture, but it is the most effective way of controlling stray light entering a lens. This also enables the lenshood to be so small as to be almost unobtrusive. Leica itself have some of this type of hood on tehir Q series of cameras.
You just have a lens hood/shade fettish lol but I have to agree, the ventilated models look beautiful. She standard plastic square ones on the m lenses are the most ugliest on the market I think, the one on my summilux 35 I didn't even use for that reason. All the best Thorsten.
If "all ventilated shades are back in stock again" now why has my order from early May 2021 not been delivered by now in the latter half of October 2021?
This dude is not a scammer, it's just his ecommerce is so badly automated that sometimes orders get forgotten in the backlog and you just need to ping him personally on his email.
Hello, I ordered a ventilated shade from you over 4 months ago and I have never received it. Can someone please let me.know if I can get a refund or can someone verify I will receive the shade I ordered? Has anyone experienced this while ordering a shade from Thorsten? Thanks.
@@user-yw6he7qs2z it took a while, but my shade eventually arrived….it would be nice if we were told it could take up to 6 months to receive it. Good luck.
Looks nice,but has no function against the flair. There is no particular reason to be used then on range finder to avoid blocking the view finder and to protect front element against bumps.I use them on my Fujifilm X-pro's ,Contax G and Leica.
Hi Thorsten , what ventilated hood should I order for a 28 summicron asph 11604 ? I’d like to be able to continue to use the 46mm filters i have for it . Thanks !
The ventilated shades all comes with a filter thread on the front larger than the original one, and a step-down ring so you can still use the original filters either on front of the shade or stack them behind the shade.
I don't think any of the fits. The 18mm have outside filter to hold the Leica-made square lens shade, and hen a filter holder as the 18mm lens doesn't have a filter tread. I susped the 3514FLE shade would fit, but then the shade would be in the way as the 18mm is wider. So he short answer is no.
Hi Thorsten, a couple years ago I purchased your ventilated lens hood for my Leica Q. At first I thought it was expensive but it looks cool on my Leica! 📸
Let's be honest.Most parts of our equipment that we have bought,were not bought for functionality,but for vanity and to please ourselves. 😉 I could bought some small Nikon SLR and make same pictures as with my Fuji x-pro2,but...it's not that pretty. 😀
@@slavensmolcic I also disagree with that part of your statement. I buy equipment for its functionality. If I bought equipment just for the vanity I would replace my first version Noctilux for the new version.
I got mine for the Q maybe a year after ordering it. Of course the ventilated shade is unnecessary on the Q because it has an electronic viewfinder. My bad.
Yes, 10 months it took. the matte shade you got for the Q was on backorder. We couldn't get to the factory for ... an unreal long time of 16 months. In any case, all shades are in stock again, so it's slightly faster :-)

They were designed for rangefinder cameras with wide angle lenses like Thorsten indicates. I was wondering why they were being used with SLRs and thought perhaps they had other uses or advantages. Besides perhaps being a little lighter there does not seem to be any other purpose than to be able to look through them.
No reason for the ventilated feature, but the look great on some lenses. And they are metal and study, and generally much more compact than the larger plastic ones you get with SLR lenses.

So good to have a video on this

That graphic really helps simplify the explanation. Thx Thorston!

I first found out about these lens hoods looking for one on Amazon
Overgaard your lenses
My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 104 and I used a conical metal hood with yellow filter! Thanks for an interesting and informative video!

James Ravilious had also "hooded" his lenses too, to better control flare.
Thank you for sharing, prof. !!!
Thank you. Welcome!
I dropped my Q2 and the lens hood saved the lens but it caused a glitch/dead pixels in the EVF but doesn’t show up in the photos.
Nice bit of history, thanks. I noticed one of connectors was in the corner with the viewfinder in one of the screw on demos. Can’t this be avoided?

Im interested in the 39mm Lens hood in BRASS for my 40mm summicron. When will you have them in stock
great for strong wind, and weight i woulds add ;)
Hello. I ordered a shade from you for the Q2M on April 24. It was backordered at the time. Can you give me an update on shipping? Thank you.
All shades are back in stock now, so will check your order.
Excellent tutorial video
Thank you :-)
@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard your welcome
I love my chrome lens shade, it is so much better than the built-in sliding nonsense shade.
Good to hear.

It's so you can stand the camera sexily on the table. Simples.
It helps :-)
Why is your lens hood for the Leica Q ventilated?

Hi Thorsten do you make one for the 18mm Super Elmar?

@@slavensmolcic there is a big difference between an apsc vs full frame.
@@bngr_bngr You didn't get what I thought.
It's not about size.
It's about something that we want,and how much

Do you have a lens hood that fits the Leica 90mm Elmartiz lens from decades ago ??
If you mean Leica no 11830, the E39 ventilated shade should fit. Or the original Leitz clip-on metal hood IUFOO (12575)
