85mm f1.4 hood options (Was: 77 limited or 85*)

I used a 67 hood on my A*85mm 1.4. It was (and still is) a Pentax PH-SB 67mm. It is a rectangular clamp-on hood and worked a treat. I still have it for the *next* A*85 I buy - in a few years when I'm shouldering a full frame digi ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places,

85mm f1.4 hood options (Was: 77 limited or 85*)

About FA 85mm f1.4: I used it quite a bit at the time, but it was heavy, bulky and had an intimidating hood Ken The A 85/1.4 correct hood is also intimidating, but you can find slimmer 67mm metal screw hoods for both A and FA 85/1.4 lenses. A good choice is the hood made to shade Super-Takumar
