I do not think the built-in hood of FA77/1.8 Limited is
effective enough.   I consider it as an emergency hood.

My favorite hood for the lens is Pentax MH-RB52, a lens
hood for 85mm soft lens.   Yes, you need 49 to 52 step up
ring.

I also use Olympus rubber hood for 40/2, 85/2, or 100/2.8,
or a usual metal hood for standard lenses in 49mm thread.

Hope this helps.
