Howdy-

Anyone know a possible source for this lens hood? B&H would be special order, and not cheap, and I don't see them on Adorama or A_____n.

Thanks in advance for any ideas. Have one you want to sell?

To be honest I couldn't find one years ago and I was happy to see it exists now. I hope it works for you! If you don't have the lens cap you can always get a fujifilm 35mm film canister and do what I do:

(I have the lenscap but hate screw in caps)

I actually use that same JJC hood and the film can cap like what UncleVanya shows. Works well with my M 40 f2.8 on my 35mm film cameras. Nice little setup.

Wow- I've gotta remember this one! I don't mind the screw-in for hauling around, but when using the lens intermittently, it is a pain.
