A "normal" lens hood, available as a screw-in metal hood in 49mm thread size for about $7 each, will work for both those lenses. Best thing you can add to those lenses to protect them and to reduce flare. While an additional longer lens is also nice to have sometimes, I find I only infrequently need or want one when I'm doing travel and people. I've done many trips with just two lenses like this and never ran out of photo ideas. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
