Wendy, in the likely event that you have to order, why not just do that and order a cheapo rubber hood to tide you over? I've had good luck with the new Hoya folding rubber hoods (they fold into three different positions for wide/mid/tele) and they're only about 40% more cost than generic rubber hoods at the local camera store.

I know that there's a hood available for the 80-320 lens and its part number (38701) but I can't find anywhere stocking it. I don't want to be ordering it from Pentax as I need it before the end of August (I've had a replacement eyecup for the MZ-S on order since March!)
Anyone seen one of the real ones to give me the dimensions? Anyone with one of these lenses using a hood? If so which make?
