Oh, is that what it is? I did think the 135 hood looked a bit tatty. But the Pentax 135 A* hood is no good (it's actually for a 645 zoom). I have constructed a hood for mine out of a 77mm straight Heliopan hood that's not long enough, but handily has a thread on its front end into which I have screwed a beat up Nikon hood and together they do a good job of shading the big front element. Sadly they're different colours and finshes and the whole set-up looks a bit odd. I have had on order for two months now, a B+W 77mm tele hood which should do the business and look okay... whether it will ever turn up is another matter.
