Just got a J-9 via the marketplace and now I'm wondering what sort of a hood I need. Anyone have advice for me?

I got mine from this eBay seller:

eBay Store - Heavy2stars Photo Gear: Step Rings, Other Brand Hoods, Leica Items

I got the longer tele metal version:

New! Metal Tele 49mm Screw-in Lens Hood - eBay (item 110357807152 end time Mar-30-09 09:56:43 PDT)

It has sufficient length and nests nicely onto the base of my black MC version J-9.

If you can so that sosmebody make the shade, or you can do it yourself, here go:

Helios 44 Outer Limits

O did it, it's fantastic! Good luck.

I added a section in my blog for the lens hood for Jupiter. I got my Jupiter9 from igowerf and thanks to him who got the very good lens hood for the lens.

Jupiter 9 85mm lens hood section

and it also comes from heavystar. That particular lens hood open up to 58mm in front and one of the item that I mention in my blog has a matching lens cap that go with the lens hood, a better combo as it allows me to have the lens hood permanently mounted on my lens for both flare and lens protection.

Nice, thanks!

I got a tele and a normal 49mm screw hood from him, for the Jup-9 and the FA 50.

Might as well join in. I love my J-9. I bought it brand new last year (although made in 1985). I have little to no oil on the blades (if i remember correctly as i'm at work) although my Helios 44-2 does have a decent coating of oil. My J-9 has recently been in hibernation as I've been shooting indoors lately and the 85mm + crop factor is just too long. For the price, the J-9 is a steal compared to the competition as the closest you'll get to this lens would be the Takumar 85 1.8/1.9 which goes for over $200. As for hoods, I use my all metal Takumar hoods.
