There are some genuine "PH-RBH 58mm" on ebay for a hefty price, the cheapest I saw was about $46 (including shipping) from the UK.

I would go with a longer (telephoto) hood. I use a 49mm version of this hood on my FA 50mm f1.4.

why not the Original? It is well made and fits perfectly: Streulichtblende PH-RBH Durchmesser 58 mm
