>According to Boz's site, at least a couple of the older 50mm K-mounts are >compatible with the same lens hoods. Specifically, the SMC-M f/1.4 and the >SMC-M f/2 can use the PH-R49, PH-S49, and the RH-R49 lens hoods.
"PH" is plastic hood. "PH-R" means round plastic hood while "PH-S" means square plastic hood. "RH" is rubber hood. "49" means 49mm. >Are any of the newer hoods available at say B&H compatible with these >particular lenses? The current rubber hood by Pentax looks reasonable? >Anyone use this combination or any newer hood with their older lens? I know Pentax still makes rubber hoods and square hoods, but you might not be able to find any square hoods outside Japan. The square hoods are chip-on type and much deeper than round hoods. There are also 49mm square hoods for 28/35mm and still in production. Perhaps one should consider to purchase a few square hoods the next trip to Japan? regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
