I picked up my 70-210 used off KEH. My 28-70 was purchased new
but it did not come with a hood. However, I believe the Pentax brand hoods
for both these lenses are just expensive versions of the cheap rubber
hoods....check Boz's site. He has info on all the hoods for every lens, along
with the coding to tell you what type of hood each one is. But, if I remember
correctly, if there is an RH in Pentax's hood codes, that mean rubber
hood.....
I do not believe the slower and less costly lenses
typical come with hoods, at least not from Pentax. Generally, hoods with a
lens seem reserved for the f/2.8 lenses, long teles (built in usually) and
perhaps some of the more upper end lenses (i.e. Limited).

John,
Did your F28-80 or F70-210 come with a lense hood? I
have never had an original one for my F70-210 and have just been using one of
those colapsable rubber hoods. Wouldnt mind getting and original one if they
came with one.
Thanks

Yes, it will make a nice companion to your F70-210,
another terrific lens. I've got the FA28-70/4 as I said earlier but
also have the F35-70 as the companion to my F70-210. Those two zooms plus an
F 50/1.7 make up my kit for my SF-10. I had thought about the F28-80
as another option but decided to stick with the 35-70 as the flash coverage
on my SF-10 is only good to 35mm. I suppose I wanted to keep my F
series lenses and SF body in historical perspective, plus I've already got
28mm covered!
John
PS -- If you're interested, KEH has several 28-70/4AL's on
their website right now

Great, thanks for the info. I think i'll pick the one up
that i have my eye on :) on www.photodo.com it gets the same rating as
the FA Zoom 28-70/4 AL. Not bad, but i'd still prefer the 28-70/4
AL
IT should make a good companion for my F
70-210/4-5.6.
