I am not sure but there is probably little difference except the newer model will have the coatings on the rear lens surface to prevent any flare or ghosting caused by reflections off the sensor therefore potentially better contrast. Buy a cheap rubber lens hood like Hoya used to make and still may do so.

The part you want is "LH635-01". If you do a Google search on that you will find "Euroshop" in Latvia - the page translates itself into english if you ask it. They advertise one for "9Ls" whatever they are, and they do mail order. Does that help?
