Thank you. That helps a lot. I am very seriously interested in
buying the 77mm Ltd and hoods are always important to me. I'll
look around for the MH-RB52 and see if I can find one. I often
wondered if the lens in the FA 100mm 2.8 macro was actually set
deep enough or not, as well. I use a Nikon hood on my SMCA 50mm
1.2. It is a very effective hood, too. (The HS-12, in case
anyone is interested)
