I wasn't thinking of a wideangle hood. A lens hood for a normal lens on a 35mm camera, which is what the standard hoods from Kalt are made for, will work fine for a 24mm lens on the DS. I use Kalt standard lens hoods for everything down to the FA20-35 with no vignetting. Same for the 28-105 ... it worked at least as well as the standard Pentax hood (designed for 35mm format again). For best results at the long end, a bit of a snoot would do well to extend it. http://homepage.mac.com/godders/lenshood-lineup-1845.jpg Tulip shaped hoods are a compromise too. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
