   Thanks @jmacglashan  you are right. On mxnet [discuss forum](https://discuss.mxnet.io/t/custom-layer-infer-shape-after-first-forward-pass/585/7) I was given a solution that does exactly what you describe:
   ```Python
   class CustomConv(HybridBlock):
       def __init__(self, const_ndarray, use_bias = True, **kwargs):
           super(CustomConv, self).__init__(**kwargs)
           self.use_bias = use_bias 
           
           with self.name_scope():
               self.weight = self.params.get('weight', 
                                             shape=(100, 100, 3, 3),
                                             allow_deferred_init=True)
               self.bijkl = self.params.get(
                   'bijkl', 
                   shape=const_ndarray.shape,
                   init=mx.init.Constant(const_ndarray.asnumpy().tolist()), 
                   differentiable=False)
   
           if self.use_bias:
                   self.bias = self.params.get(
                       'bias',
                       allow_deferred_init=True,
                       init = mx.init.Zero(),
                       shape=(100,))
           
       def hybrid_forward(self, F, x, weight, bijkl, bias=None):
           proj_weight = F.sum(F.dot(weight, bijkl), axis=[2, 3])
           
           if self.use_bias:
               return F.Convolution(data=x, weight=proj_weight, bias=bias, num_filter=100, kernel=(5, 5))
               
           else:
           
               return F.Convolution(data=x, weight=proj_weight, no_bias=True, num_filter=100, kernel=(5, 5))
   
   ```
   
   Only issue still left is that I cannot (yet) infer the shape (of some dimension) during first run.  Getting there ...
