Hi Lowell Goudge, yeah that is quite a bit of mathematics involved. Think I'll be able to get past that, provided I do not get the wrong measurement from the wrong part. lol Thanks a lot for helping me dig out that whole load of information. :D
Hi geauxpez, I see I see, will try and find out what are the angle of view of the 2 lenses. I checked out the rubber Hoya hoods, looks pretty good but somehow, something in me is itching to find the original Pentax hoods and it is driving me crazy! The bay is probably a good area to look for it, if not then I guess it would have to be the Hoya hood. Thanks for the advice. :lol:
Hi G8akjxc8954739 aka georgweb. = ) I got a lil lost when I read your guide on how to check the hood, but I think I get it, it is really informative. Thanks for your advice too. I really appreciate all the help that everyone has given me. :D Thanks!

Hi geauxpez, oh I must have read it wrongly. My bad. I read it as filter instead of lens cap. My apologies. Hmm I can still live with the fact that I have to go without the lens cap. Anyways, I am not too sure about the exact size to get. For filters, my 55mm Super Tak uses a 49mm size filter, that I know. But as for lens hood, should it be 55mm instead? Please bear with me for asking so many questions. Thank you.
Hi reeftool, yeah it can be a little frustrating when all I can depend on is guess work. I am having problems determining the right size of the lens hood because I am using film, I really hope I don't get one that is oversized at the front, resulting in the lens hood being part of the picture. Don't know if I am making any sense here. hmmmm...

Hi geauxpez, thanks for the information. I checked out the hoya rubber hood, seems pretty good but the only downside, as you have said, is that I cannot use it together with my filters. Seems like I got to think about whether or not I want to use both the hood and filter together or just either one. Thanks a lot for the info still.
Hi Lowell Goudge, wow, that sounds Greek to me, but it is great to learn more about this since I just got started with this hobby. I think I know what you are talking about. Will try and figure this out. Thanks you.
I truly appreciate the advice that you all have given me. Thank you. :D:D

Hi there everyone, I have a SMC Takumar 35mm f3.5 lens and a Super Tak 55mm f1.8 lens and I have read articles upon articles stating the usefulness of a lens hood. However, I am at a lost as to what kind of lens hood would be appropriate for my SMC Tak 35mm and the Super Tak 55m. I have searched around for info but still, am unable to find any info about it. Also, I understand that it has been advised by many, to use a lens hood for wide angle lenses, but in your own opinion, would it be good to get a hood for the Super Tak 55mm?
Sorry for asking so many questions. I am very new to all of these and am pretty excited to know more and I wish someone could enlighten me. Thank you. :D
