Advice sought regarding an effective hood for the M35/2. I seen to recall a recent post recommending the Pentax hood from a 50mm. And a long time ago there was a post regarding Nikon hoods and this lens or similar. Any suggections welcome.

Nikon HN-3 threaded metal circular hood with 49-52mm step-up ring. The HN-3 is on EBay all the time, cheap. It was designed for the 35/2 and 43-85 zoom. The similar HN-2 (52mm filter) was designed for the 28/2 and 35/2. So it's a bit less shallow. Check the photos on EBay and see which you

Hi Bill ... Although my Bow-Wow is gone, the woofer's hood is used on the K20/4.0, and there's not been any problems using filters with it and getting things to line up properly. What problems have you had? Bill D. Casselberry wrote: Having never seen the 35mm hood, I thought of the

Gee Bill, you don't adjust the rectangle, The adapter/step ring part gets adjusted, and it remains pretty tight. I've never had the problem you've described, and the hood's often used with a filter. BTW, why do you always indent when you write email messages? Bill D. Casselberry wrote:

I use the clamp on hood from a 28/3.5 SMC Tak screw mount lens. It's not quite as deep as one could use with the 35, but it's a great hood, and it seems to provide sufficient coverage under most conditions. Paul Alan Chan wrote: Advice sought regarding an effective hood for the M35/2. I seen
