Yeah, collapsible hoods tend to collapse:-). I have one on my A400/5.6. Of course if you aim the lens toward a bird up in a tree, the hood collapses. I installed a ring to upsize the filter thread to 82mm and bought a metal hood to fit. I needed the ring to accommodate my best circular polarizer anyway.
