>Hi, brothers I'm not a member of the brotherhood; I use my PH-SB on my 85mm...
>Just a quick question: >The PHSB67 hood, is bayonet, screw-on or what? Or what. Actually, a clamp-on type, with two sprung 'buttons' top and bottom that actuate on a pair of arced grips - these attach onto the filter threads of the lens. Hence filters can be used as normal. You simply clamp the hood directly onto the filter instead of the lens. >I'm asking because I found one in a store here (wasn't able to take a >close-up look, the store was closed) and I want to know if this hood is >worth having. Buy it. They are excellent quality and do the job well. >Also, I would like to know the exact depth of it, to search for possible >screw-on cheaper alternatives. Be aware that there are different sizes of PH-SB and PH-SA hoods. The PH-SA is longer in hood depth, the PH-SB shorter. My PH-SA is 47mm from front to back. The diamter is 67mm (filter size). There are other (filter-size) diameters of PH-SA and SB hoods. I'm not sure what sizes are available, a real brother perhaps will enlighten us.
