most programming problems can be solved by adding a layer of indirection. it seems so are photo-equipment related ones. best, mishka On Sun, 19 Dec 2004 16:46:26 -0600, William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "Shel Belinkoff" > Subject: Re: Speaking of hoods > > > So get a step ring ... problem solved. > > Amazing how few problems there really are, isn't it? > > William Robb > >

Re: Speaking of hoods
Well, no in fact it is just the opposite. My 55mm 1.8 has a 52mm thread and I thought (didn't check, stupid heh?) it was 49mm, just as he TAK one. So I'm left with a Tak 55mm circular metal hood with a 49mm thread -> I wanna use it on my 50mm's.

RE: Speaking of hoods
Have you tried the plastic rectangular hood made for both the 20mm and 24mm K lenses? It should fit. It is a bit more low profile than the Takumar. Hard to find though. Andre I've not observed vignetting using the 24/3.5 hood on my 18/3.5, but you can certainly use the Takumar hood made for the 20/4.5 with no problems.

Re: Speaking of hoods
It is metal, circular one with a 49mm thread. of course I should have written "the K version has 52mm thread" and not "2mm". A 58mm cap (a very simple one, from my non SMC 28-80mm) does fit on it pretty well so I can let the hood on the lens.

PS> Paul Hi Paul, for the M35/2, a perfect hood is the rectangular metal or plastic one for 50mm Pentax. I would guess that the metal rectangular M35/2 hood (which I still have) provides just optimum shielding for M28/2 lens... Good light! fra
Re: Speaking of hoods
The Takumar 24/3.5 hood is a perfect fit for the M35/2. It obviously won't provide optimum coverage, but it seems to be adequate, and it looks great :-).
