Not really... a circular hood won't vignette more than a rectangular one, though it will take up more space and may block the built-in flash more. It's also not a good idea to use rectangular hoods on lenses with a rotating front element, for obvious reasons. I prefer circular ones myself for that reason, though I'll use any well-made hood as long as it matches up with the lens. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
