I used to have the hood! It friction - fit on the filter ring and was secured by a small knurled screw. Not the most secure system, I lost the hood one day in a crowd.
Yesterday's foray with the lens was a huge disappointment. It kept focusing several feet behind the subject. I don't know how that could happen as I have no problem focusing with my M 200mm and Tamron 90mm macro, both of which I use often. If it's focused on the focusing screen why wouldn't it actually be in focus? If the focusing screen is somehow askew shouldn't all my manual focus lenses suffer similarly? I don't get it...
