<< 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? >> Hello Alan We have the rectangular hoods for the std & wide lenses from stock. Most of the other hoods can be ordered. The stock models are plastic, not metal. Kind regards from sunny Brighton Peter - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
