Thanks, Bipin. I’ll check it out. I got the hood I ordered from NewEgg. Not happy with it. It screws on instead of slipping on the way the original Pentax hood does, which means it can’t be mounted on the lens backward, which was very convenient when the lens is not in use. I may get a chance to try these disposable hoods yet.
