Need a cheap hood for your Flek 4/20 or 4/25?
Try the Mamiya Hood No.1 for RB/RZ67 50/65mm lenses. It's made of rubber and folds flat.
Straight push-on fit as the ring's the same 80mm dia. as the Flek's OE push-on cap although there's no scope for filters unless you screw them on first. It's quite deep for a WA hood (Depth is good, within reason....) but there is no vignetting at f4 on FF.
Looks like this:
Front.
Side.

Andy, I just called KEH, and they still have not shipped the hood, yet! Bought
it Wednesday last week and shipping was $12.95 for such a small lightweight
item. Just called them and was told they wait for enough orders to make
a run to the post office, which sometimes takes as much as 10 days before
shipping!
Just to let you know, and shipping sux big time with KEH! |

Hood arrived today! Instead of $12.95 I was charged $7.95 for shipping, and
actual shipping was:
The white residue on the hood has since been washed off. I need just a
little strip of electricians tape to make it fit snug, but works pretty good as
is.
Thanks, Bob! (bob955i)

Hi Bill
Mine arrived today also.
I have a concern with KEH and shipping.
They really bungled the package with the G lenses for conversion to M mount.
The guy I finally got action from after a week of them sitting on it told me they had an issue with their acct. ( I had to pay $60 for second day  )
I hope that KEH does not have some finance problems.
They have been a really nice source over the years.

When I thought I paid them $12.95 for an $8 item, I got a little upset at the
guy on the phone when he told me they wait till they have a bunch of stuff
to mail before going to the post office.
Yeah, hope they aren't having any permanent deep-seated problems. |

They have a huge inventory.
It must be a constant struggle for cash flow there.
I imagine at this time of year the ink gets a bit red.

Orio I bought two.
I can send you one the next time I send you something
I only need one but it was cheap and I figured maybe it would be good to get an extra.
The hood is pretty durable looking. An spare is not necessary.

Andy, rare and noble scout, good move on getting two!
Checking the hood's fit again, it doesn't look like I need to do anything, more than snug enough. |
