Voiglander Nokton 58mm f1.4 SI II on Pentax PLEASE!

Ya, the hood is a bit of a rip-off (although it's only $39 at cameraquest.com).



The good news is it's not a dedicated bayonet item, just a simple threaded one so you are not missing much. You can find [url="http://www.camerafilters.com/detail.aspx?id=744"]a similar one here for a few dollars[/url].



Or, since you are using a full-frame lens on an APS-C body, you could run a deeper hood than the original one. The hood I use on my Nokton 58mm is 45mm deep (it came off an old 80-210mm zoom lens). The hood in the link about is only 23mm deep, for comparison.



A step-down ring might work as a hood also (similar to the type of hood on the Ultron 40mm), although I haven't tried it to see how small one could go. I'm planning on trying a 58mm-->49mm step-down...if it worked then I could share hoods and filters with the APO-Lanthar 90mm....

I know I'm probably too picky...I really want to find one with flocking. Really difficult to find one...
