the only lens i have at the moment is the one the camera came with which is the 18/55. this should do fine with a hood? when i buy my other lens a 70/300 i need to get one for the 300?
Look at the filter diameter on the lens--not the focal length--or look at your lens cap, which will give you the size. 49mm, 52mm, etc. (I don't remember the size for the 18-55, but I'll guess 49.)
then just go to Wal-Mart, Walgreens, wherever, and buy something cheap for now. It's not really worth the effort or money obsessing over a hood. They all pretty much do the same thing.
