I do not have that hood (I assume you mean for the 50mm lenses) with my much reduced lens kit. And the size sometimes does not make much sense either.
For instance look at the hoods on the M35/2 and the Vivitar 24/2 that a 62mm inside clip-on cap fits nicely, they measure 64mm outside, but a 64mm slip-on is too small. I would guess the B&H is correct and a 65 or 66mm would work nicely. On my M100mm, it and the previously mention m35 do have 49mm filter rings, the hood takes a 64mm slip on --the one knarf borrowed for a year<g>. My M50/1.7 has a crap rubber-ducky hood that takes the standard cap when collapsed. The Tokina 80-200 will not go into the bag with the hood on so I use the stock cap with it. Maybe someone who has a current Pentax hood can tell you better what size fits a hood for a 50, but I suspect it would be that in the 64-66 range. Unfortunately one too tight does not fit, and one too loose falls off (of course I guess a bit of black tape around the hood as Shel suggested would fix that). Not much help was I? --graywolf Michael Abbott wrote: > Re Schneider lens caps: > > "For any camera or enlarger lens, binocular, tele-, micro-, or > spotting scope lens.
