Craig, The hood for the 75-150 is the HN-21, which would be a metal screw-in type. It is long out of production and is not very common, you may have trouble finding one. A hood which *may* work is the HN-7, which was made for the AI 80-200/4.5 and pre-AI 85/1.8. These lenses have a slightly longer focal length so the hood may be a little deeper and cause vignetting with the 75-150. I suspect it would be ok as long as it is not fitted over any filters. It would pay to check it out first. This hood is also not in production, but is relatively common. The other alternative is to get a hood for a lens with a shorter focal length such as 50mm or 35mm. Hoods for these lenses will not provide as much shade as the HN-21, but will offer some protection, without the risk of vignetting. When using manual lenses such as the 75-150 on the F90, you can use manual mode or aperture priority modes. Metering will be center-weighted, and maybe spot metering - no matrix metering. Hope this helps, Roland
