Any lens hood is a compromise on a zoom lens at some point or another. A tulip shaped hood gives a little more coverage than a barrel shaped hood, but only in a four-pronged shape that has edges which must be oriented correctly or you get vignetting. And it's harder to fit a hood cap with a more complex lens hood shape. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
