Lens hood 49FH on Tamron SP 70-210mm f/3.5 adaptall-2 19AH

[hintheman]

I have purchased a wonderful zoom with Tamron SP 70-210mm f/3.5 adaptall-2 19AH but the purchase is missing the 49FH lens hood.

The filter size on the lens is 62mm but the lens hood is not a regular 62mm, the zoom itself has a partial lens hood extending from 70mm to 210mm end. I wonder if a larger generic lens hood in 63 to 64mm have a chance to fit in.

Any pointers on how to find the original or alternative lens hood is appreciated.

Thanks,
Hin

You should look step ring from 64mm to 62mm on Ebay.

Thank you for the inputs.

I am going to measure my lens outer diameter and see if a 64mm size can fit the original lens hood location -- likely on the outer zoom ring. The step up or step down with 62 -> 64 or 64 -> 62 will get in the way of zooming.

I don't have a good picture on my lens to show the issues, I will update later on on my peculiar issues -- I love this zoom and it works better for me over my Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm zooms from Kiron, Tokina or the Komine 3rd version.

Hi,

Got a 19AH myself.. use a heavy duty rubber lens hood that has '3 positions' the widest for wide angle, the other two for the tele end. Works fine with no problems. It 'collapses' back almost flush with the end of the lens when carrying.

Man, thanks for the input and picture. Do you recall the diameter of you 3-stage rubber lens hood? 62mm can't fit on the outer ring. What size? I owe you a favor!

update: it seems you use it right on the glass instead of the outer zoom ring, will it block the extension from the zoom ring?

Thanks,
Hin

Only about 1mm gap between barrels.

Funny thing is I was going to reply yesterday, but found my hood had gone missing I had taken lens out earlier that day to do some deer stalking and assumed I had lost it. Anyway this morning I retraced my steps through the woods and found it trodden in the mud The hood is a bit of a pain as you need to remove it to get the lens cap off and would appear easily lost. To be honest I think using your focus hand to shade the lens will be just as effective.

If it was not for this thread I would now be minus one lens hood, thanks Hin.

Thank you Ferfus for all the help especially the dimensions on the lens hood. The information is invaluable to me in finding a matching one. Last night, I have a copy of generic 67mm 3 stage rubber lens hood arrived for my other Tamron SP adaptall-2 lens with 28-135mm f/4.0-4.5 (28A). Somehow, the 67mm collapsible lens hood can't fit the outer ring, it seems a 1mm too small. And even if it fits, the hood opening is not big enough as in 80mm and the hood blocks the zoom in extending to the far end.

I am glad you found your copy of the hood in the wood. Please keep it as a gem as I can't find it easily online.

Thanks,
Hin

Whether it's still available, I don't know.
