Lens shade for 150mm f4.5 Linhof [Schneider Xenar] ?

[Fintan]

I'm looking for suggestions for a lens shade for this lens that wont cause vignetting on my 4x5 Technika III

Suggestions anyone?

The Linhof 42mm clamp-on shade and filter holder works. I also use a generic 39.5mm rubber folding hood as well, and it closes with the lens inside my Tech V. There is not much room for movements with this lens in general.

Thanks David. Is the thread 39.5mm? I was thinking it was 39mm.

Sorry, that's 40.5mm. I just double-checked at the schneider website--

Mine is cammed, and it closes with the camera, so it's a handy lens to walk around with. The camera even closes with the rubber hood and a filter in place. The rubber hood I have is just a generic hood from B&H.

Great, thanks for the info.
