Well, no in fact it is just the opposite. My 55mm 1.8 has a 52mm thread and I thought (didn't check, stupid heh?) it was 49mm, just as he TAK one. So I'm left with a Tak 55mm circular metal hood with a 49mm thread - I wanna use it on my 50mm's. Thibouille Kostas Kavoussanakis

I've not observed vignetting using the 24/3.5 hood on my 18/3.5, but you can certainly use the Takumar hood made for the 20/4.5 with no problems. The Tak 105/2.8 hood should be fine on the 85/2.0. I use it on the M50/1.4 with no vignetting or problems. Shel [Original Message] From: Kostas

The Takumar 24/3.5 hood is a perfect fit for the M35/2. It obviously won't provide optimum coverage, but it seems to be adequate, and it looks great :-). Paul On Dec 18, 2004, at 8:27 AM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: I've not observed vignetting using the 24/3.5 hood on my 18/3.5, but you can

I guess a Tak 55mm 1.8 hood should be fine for any 50mm? Unfortunately the K version has 2mm thread instead of 49mm for the Tak version. I didn't pay attention enough so I got a 52mm hood.. --- Thibouille Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: On Sat, 18 Dec 2004, Shel Belinkoff wrote: The Tak

It is metal, circular one with a 49mm thread. of course I should have written the K version has 52mm thread and not 2mm. A 58mm cap (a very simple one, from my non SMC 28-80mm) does fit on it pretty well so I can let the hood on the lens. Thibouille Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: On

Have you tried the plastic rectangular hood made for both the 20mm and 24mm K lenses? It should fit. It is a bit more low profile than the Takumar. Hard to find though. Andre I've not observed vignetting using the 24/3.5 hood on my 18/3.5, but you can certainly use the Takumar hood made for
