Hi Paul,
It is a circular hood, thread on. I use it with a regular filter without
vignetting. I do have
two 28 1.9`s, I guess I like them.
The 35mm .9 you refer to, I think you mean the f1.9? I don`t have that
one, and
would`nt mind hearing some feedback about it, if anyone has it.

A longer barrel--such as that used on the SMC 28/2, which was designed with
Zeiss--can bend the rays more "gently." Isn't extra barrel distortion one
