I've been using this lens/hood combination (and often as a one lens solution) for years now without a problem. The worst that can happen is that it pops off and becomes lost or it gets rotated unnoticed and causes a slight vignette. Ecke, mine is the Sigma Perfect Hood too, for 52mm diameter thread, overall diameter is 68mm (excluding the release clips), the deep petals are 33.5mm from the base excluding mount flange and the shallow petals are 19.5mm from the base, there is no apparent model number unfortunately.
