Thank you!
Has anyone found a nice 52mm hood for this lens that takes advantage of the 1.5 crop factor (so I would imagine a bit longer than the original)?
I also would like a hood for my K 28 3.5...

Hey how have you been? I picked up both of those lenses recently and I use a standard 52mm metal hood with a 55mm lens cap for the 28mm lens. Like this one Fotga 52mm Screw Mount Standard Metal Lens Hood for Canon Nikon Pentax Sony Hot | eBay

And a 52mm tele metal hood with a 58mm lens cap for the K55 like this one. 52mm Tele Metal Lens Hood for Canon Nikon Sony Olympus | eBay

I'm good, thanks! Looking forward to the next SoCal photo adventure.
I appreciate the lens hood links. The hoods look nice, and you sure can't beat the price.
If you confirm no vignetting wide open, I will buy the exact same hoods.

Yep same here.

No vignetting wide open on either lens on cropped DSLR. Just went to double check the K28 just to make sure. I also use the same hoods on my K35 3.5 and K 50 1.4 ( I know, damn LBA)

I still haven't picked up a lens hood, but I took my K55 to the beach this week on vacation. Here is a landscape, medium, and closeup shot with it.
In my opinion, some of my more modern glass would have done a better job with the highlights in the landscape, but I prefer the realistic skin tones in the portraits to DA glass.
Plus, I like taking less expensive gear to the beach...

Wonderful! Relics of a classic age.

(But has someone messed with the suspension on the dark blue car, the first one in the background? Looks suspiciously low. I wish they wouldn't ... )

Great shot.

K85mm 1.8 and K135 3.5, both a joy to use!

Nice utak!

Nice utak!

Thanks!

The K28mm f3.5 is one of the best resolving, sharpest lenses of its kind, and its taken many wonderful crisp photos for me...so I thought I'd post this one instead; its crowd bokeh created by focusing on the head of a spectator sitting in front of me - hope you like it!!! (Not everyone does...)
