Shel,
Unrelated, but it can be used with the 28-70 F4 also. It does not
vignette, but I'll have to try your filter stack test.

Subject: Re: 24mm Lens Hoods
: Hi,
:
: I just did a few quick tests on a lens hood for the K24/2.8, and for
: the time being I'm not going to buy the HAMA hood. I'd totally
: forgotten to check the Nikon hood compatibility chart I made a while
: back, and when I did I discovered that the Nikon HN-2 hood was
: designed for the 24/2.8 Nikon lens. It's got a 52mm thread, and so
: it fits the K24/2.8 just fine. It doesn't seem to vignette even
: with a filter, but with two filters I see a little cut off at the
: corners. This tells me that the hood does a good job, and blocks
: stray light very close to the corner of the frame. Since the LX has
: a pretty accurate viewfinder, I suspect there will be no loss at all
: when viewing a frame exposed when using this hood and a filter. I
: will be shooting some test film tomorrow just to verify this. Based
: on results obtained when using other Nikon hoods on Pentax lenses, I
: suspect that there will be no vignetting problem.
:
: Based on the problems of using the HAMA hood with a filter, and the
: fact that it can (according to some who've used it) easily get
: knocked out of alignment, I think the Nikon HN-2 is probably a fine
: choice.
