Hood for Pentax SMC K 28/3.5

Ever since I bought this fantastic lens last year I've been on the lookout for the dedicated Pentax hood but I've never seen one at all. I believe it's a clip-on type to fit the 52mm filter thread. All I ever see is the 49mm version for the Takumar.

Does anybody have one they could post a pic of for me to see so I can recognise it, or even better, know where I could buy one? At the moment I'm using the hood from my Nikkor-NC 24/2.8, but a Nik hood on a Pentax lens doesn't feel right! Smile

Is it this one...it does not say if its K, it does have 49mm on the back of the hood.

My "Asahi Pentax SMC Lenses" brochure 06116 dated 4/79 has a 52mm square hood listed for SMC (K) 50/1.2, 28/2, 28/2.8, & 24/2.8. No 28/3.5 there -- is your lens really f/2.8, or a f/3.5 with 52mm filter threads?

PS get a Canon body to sandwich Pentax lens between Nikon hood! Laughing

Peter, I think the hood you are looking for is a Pentax PH-S52 which is marked for the 24mm. AFAIK, there was no hood manufactured specifically for the 28mm and any literature I have says that this is the matching hood for the 28mm.

Ah, thank you Edgar! Yes, the PH-S52 is the one I meant. It's listed on Bodijar Dimitrov's K mount page
http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/wide-angle/K28f3.5.html
but I didn't realise it was intended for the 24mm. That explains why I can't find one - I was searching for 28mm! Smile

Visual, I tried sandwiching it between a Canon cam and Nikon hood - it started yelling "get me outa here"! It doesn't seem to mind the NEX though! Wink Yes, it's a 28/3.5 Pentax K lens with 52mm filter - the Nikon hood for the 24/2.8 is screw-in fitting, also 52mm.

Mo, I think if your hood is for 49mm then it must be for the Pentax-M lenses and later. The Takumar hood for the M42 28/3.5 is also 49mm but it has a clamp fitting, and neither will fit my larger K lens. Thanks for the picture though - I'm using the Takumar hoods with my M lenses, so now I have to start a new search for the right ones! Smile

Looking for that hood now myself LOL! Thanks Peter for this thread! (I'll be going with Nikon HN-2)
