Yes, the HN-3 is recommended for the 35mm lens, however I have used it on K30/2.8, the FA28-70/4 AL and the Vivitar 24/2.8 without any vignetting. The advantage of the HN-3 over the HN-1 is that it is a deeper hood and so affords better flare and physical protection. Again, I haven't noticed any vignetting, but I do not regularly filters (with exception of K30 and polarizer sometimes) and so you could run into problems if you regularly use filters with the hood. Nikon also has the HN-2 which is between the HN-3 and HN-1 in size. That might be a good compromise if you suspect you might run into problems with your Pentax 24 (I have no experience with) or if you regularly use filters.
