Intriguing, what makes you say that? On the lighter side, I didn't think we
ever admit to Pentax errors? ;-) On the more practical side, I'm looking at
my lens now, read your email and decided to pull it out. By design this
lens has a very thick and long hood. I cannot see a reason for anything
additional. However, I can see it if you are referring to a hood that isn't
of real benefit of shading the lens, but needs one for 'protection' then
sure. But I'll just stick to what I know, Pentax doesn't list one for it
like every other lens that doesn't have one built in, even the cheapest
consumer zooms. They told me it doesn't need it. I respect them. In class
we discussed lenses and the instructor also said because of the construction
of true macro lens, a hood is not necessary. In any case, I'm interested to
hear your reason why it does. I have never had trouble with it in that
respect (usage, just not people telling me so).
