Peter, I`ve been looking for one of those VS1 90-180 hoods that say "Vivitar Series 1" on it. I picked up a 72mm Vivitar hood on ebay that`s about 1 and 3/8' total length, that works well, but I still want one (actually three) that say "Vivitar Series 1" on it. How deep is the one that says "Vivitar Series 1" on it, if you still have it? I`ll take 3, if you`re selling any :) Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 7:05 AM Subject: Re: Hood depth

Oh, well, it's as long as I had hoped and it goes for about $45 new. Adorama even has a Yashica No. 5, demo condition, for about $9. But I couldn't be sure they were the same. > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > mail2web - Check your email from the web at > http://mail2web.com/ . > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
