I have found that Nikon's HN-3 hood works well with both my FA28-70/4 (52mm) and a Vivitar 24/2.8 (52mm). It is a metal screw in hood usually available on ebay or most well stocked Nikon dealers. I use a Takumar 105/2.8 100/4 metal screw in hood for my FA80-200/4.7-5.6 (49mm). I have found that I can also use this hood on a 50mm lens with no vignetting if I don't use a filter.
Hope that helps, William in Utah. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Nelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 7:22 PM Subject: Lens Hood Suggestions > After recently acquiring a deep, solid hood with my SMC 135/2.5 (Thanks > Fred) I've decided to get hood for the rest of my lenses.
