However the pentax hood on my 100mm f2.8M [49mm] finally broke yesterday [not bad after 20 years] and I can't think of a logical replacement for that .....................any body any ideas ?
The old Takumar 100/4 lens hood is a nice metal 49mm. I have it on my M 100/4 macro. You may also be able to use the Takumar hood for the 135/3.5 given Pentax's tendency of designing lens hoods to be used with filters & a polarizer, but I would check for vignetting first. They are both nice solid metal screw-on hoods. BUTCH Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. Hermann Hess (Damien)
