Re: Speaking of hoods

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
