Wendy, I sometimes use with FA 80-320 the hood that came with K135/2.5. As I noticed, it doesn't vignette at 80mm. Be warned however that the zoom looks ridiculous with the (any) hood mounted. BTW, I don't see any use for a hood except maybe when it rains. Even then it gets more in the way then it helps. The 80-320 is very flare resistant as it is. Servus, Alin
