I think the more important question is will the lens be able to obtain
representation, it being a oppressed minority and all...

Astonishing. Only says "Add to Basket" under "Buy it Now". Nothing

But, you're right - I eventually found it under the exclusions & US
isn't on
the "change country list" either.

It *may* ship to Canada, but Dave would probably be better off going
through "www.ebay.ca".

This one will probably work better. The one Alan posted says it
doesn't
ship to the US.
Here's an eBay search of the US site.

Pentax Canada shows both versions of the 55-300 as coming with a
hood.
If your lens is new, not new to you, it should have had a hood
included.
I expect the Pentax hood is available as a part.
You may want to sit down before you look, though. One of the
main UK
suppliers
used to list Pentax lens caps with the note "Same plastic, twice the
price" -
and they were. Lens hoods were up to 1/3rd of the cost of the
new lens.
