I've got a screw in lens hood for my M50mm and M28mm lenses that works fine with my K-5, but when I tried it with my K1000, I get vignetting. I found a hood for the 50mm on B&H but not for the 28mm. From what I gather the official hood is a PH-S49 for the 28mm. Can't find that anywhere. I found this snippet on Pentax Users, "For your M-28mm and M-50mm, a 49-37mm and a 37-30.5mm step-down adapter ring will do nicely." I've never worked with step-down rings but it doesn't make sense to me to go from 49mm to 30.5mm. It seems like the lens would vignette with that configuration.
Anyone have a bright idea or know of a source for manual lens hoods? I've tried ebay and KEH and google of course.
