I'd use a generic, metal, standard lens hood (B&H Photo sells the
Kalt brand in 67mm for $13).

I did the same with my FA28-105/3.2-4.5 AL IF and it worked very
nicely. Here's a picture:

(second from the right). It's not the best possible hood at 105mm,
but it didn't vignette at 28mm. I use the same hood on the 20-35/4
and it also doesn't vignette, does a respectable job.
I dislike rubber lens hoods. They just seem to get in the way a lot
of the time.

Hi,
I just bought a 24-90 zoom to use in my *istDS and it didn't come with
the hood. Now, my question is, should I get a wideangle hood or a
"regular" one? I mean, should the crop factor "influence" the hood
selection?
Any one tried those cheap rubber hoods? Would that be good enough?
I emailed Pentax Canada today to know if I could get a replacement but
I don't expect any answer anytime soon ;-)
Thanks
Fernando
