As an afterthought, the Nikon HN-5, which is a screw-on hood, is also an
ideal hood for the Pentax 50mm/1.2 and K50/1.4 lenses, if one wants a
hood shorter than the HN-7.

I know you will like the handling of it. You gotta try a

Hi Len,
I know it was made for an 85mm, but it is perfect for a 50mm, even
with a filter on at f16 it will not interfere. It`s perfect (except it says
Nikon) I say. I scored two of them from Pacific Rim for $20 each,
brand new in their cute little boxes, list price is around $70 each.

Old advice from the Nikon School about lens caps to fit over hoods...
Go to the supermarket and look for a top from a product. When you find one
that fits, buy the product!

The HN-7 also fits right over the lens when not in use (50/1.2 and 50/1.4).
Why are the hoods designed for most lenses (notice most) such a joke?
Nikon also makes a HK-4 which is perfect for the VS1 35-85/2.8. The
Nikon hoods are very, very nice.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for that tip. Not having had a K50/1.2, or the K50/1.4, I didn't
know that. I just tried it, and, although it fits over the lens, it's
not a snug fit, like the Takumar hoods fit over their respective lenses,
but it does help a bit.

Is there any way of finding out the thread sizes (for screw in) or inside
diameters (for slip on) of these Nikon hoods? They look really nice but I
cant find any reference on them (looking at BH etc.) that tells me anything
other than the Nikon lenses that they are designed to fit.
Regards,
I have a chart that I compiled, although it's in WordPerfect 6.1. I may
redo it in HTML, now that I know how to write some simple code. Can you
use Word Perfect? Do you have questions about specific lenses/hoods?

Hi, Bob.

I won the above lens in an Ebay Auction yesterday. I based the
decision to bid completely on the reputation of the K lenses as

that being the 105mm.
The description of the lens is new in box, possibly never

William,
Is it the smc-m 1.4 ?
SMC 50mm f/1.4. It is a K lens, which is the first generation of
bayonet mount.

If it's indeed the K 50/1.4 you go a great deal. It's the same
optically as the
M 50/1.4, but a bit more massive externally with a much more
luxurious feel. I
love using mine on a K2.

Very good price Bill, and nice sniping! Don`t you have enough
normals? ;) It is a sweet lens, pretty good wide open, nice
bokeh too. What are your expectations?
I guess I am hoping for a good normal lens
That's a great buy, Bill. I think the 50/1.4 K is one of the best pentax
lenses ever made. And if you got one that's new in the box for less than
$100, you stole it. You devil, you :-)
