Hi Paul ... I have the little brother to the HN-13, the HN-12. Yes, it's designed to use a Nikon polarizer, as it's a two-piece hood. However, I've used ,one as a regular lens hood with no problems just by leaving out the Nikon polarizer.
Unfortunately, I don't know the thread size on the HN-13.

I meant to write HN-13. >That does fit a 72mm filter ring, right? And it's plenty long? One seller wrote to >me, "but it only fits the Nikon polarizing filter." What can this mean? In >Nikonspeak, "HN" denotes a screw-on metal hood. -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/darkroom-rentals/index.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
