Thanks for all the suggestions, Guys. If my search for a suitable 67mm hood is not successful, then I will try the step up ring way!

I tried one of those extendable rubber ones but the corners seem to still cast a shadow even at its most retracted state.

Hi Guys,
I have an FA 20mm which I really love but it did not come with a MH-RB 67mm hood. Has anyone found a suitable replacement hood for it? If so, can you tell me which will work?
In the meantime, please enjoy some pics I took with the FA20 on a K-1:)

I've had the K-1 for well over a year now and have a good array of lenses including the DFA28-105. My camera equipment seldom sees action unless i travel on holiday. The one pre-dominant question I ask myself when deciding on equipment is: do i have time to really shoot? In this, I mean, can I stop, take the time to absorb the environment, decide on the kind of shot i want, and then pick the right focal length. Alternatively, I ask myself: will i have the time to set up a tripod? This will all depend on your itinerary, how hurried you are, how patient/impatient your travelling companions are, etc.
So, for example, when I went on a nice beach holiday, where there was not much to do except to chill, enjoy my wife's company and the scenery, it was mostly primes for me. Carrying an array that included FA20, 31, 43, 77 and DFA50 macro, did not feel a ponderous or limiting (the default lens on the camera was mostly the 43Ltd cos it was a "normal" view). I had time to change lenses and still get the shot. It worked well and it yielded the best IQ i could muster with my limited abilities.
On the other hand, when I have a fast-charging itinerary (which is often) and especially if it involves cities, then a zoom is my preferred weapon of choice. In this case, with the K-1, the DFA28-105 does great, having, to me, no weaknesses within its specs. I supplement the 28-105 with the FA20 though for UWA shots. The 28-105 (to me) would have been almost perfect if it stretched out to 24mm, but it doesn't, so the FA20 will accompany it. The other essential for me is the DFA50. This becomes my "food photography lens" and is impressive in that regard. I carry a tele zoom (could be the F70-210 or DAL55-300) too but i seldom use it.
And i carry a Pentax film cam too cos i love the look of film :-)
Hope my views will help you.

I'm afraid I didn't spot a single Elise or Exige in Iceland in the 8 days I was there. The weapon of choice was predominantly the SUV.
