To Paul,
As fas as in use, I would say that they should work the same. I had the
recomended rubber hood on the counter to compare it to the HN-2. The
coverage was the same. You could probably get the HN-2 for the same price
also. Pentax accesories are (in)famously over priced. I just can't stand
those rubber hoods. They look dorky, and the quality is not so great. I have
tried to get the proper metal or hard plastic hood for the lenses I have.
Shel,
Speaking of hoods, I just picked up a Takumar 28mm 3.5 hood. I plan to
use it with the K lens. I really like the design of the Takumar compared to
the 50mm plastic K hood that I have. It clamps around the outside of the
filter ring. I haven't tried it but I bet you could slide it back if you had
to when using a filter. And yes I should have bought the Takumar hood for
the 135mm at the time, picked one up for $19.00 recently.
l8r,
Douglas E Harmon
