rick_janes Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Will the "SMC Pentax 1:2 85mm 1:2.8-4 100mm" clip-on hood fit (and stay!) on an 85 2.2 Soft? OE hood was the PH-R49 but I've seen mention of that particular clip-on working also. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 <p>I would think so. It's my recollection that these hoods just grab the filter threads, similar to modern lens caps (pinch, not push-on). It is listed <a href="http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/short-tele/K85f2.2-Soft.html">on Boz's page</a> to fit. One possible issue would be whether it will stay on when lens is at its physical shortest when focus is at its extreme as the 85/2.2 soft appears to have relatively short extension. If you want to play it safe and don't mind the screw-on/storage nuisance, go with a metal screw-in, these plastic hoods seem a little fragile.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_shriver Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 <p>Yep, fits fine, stays on stably, doesn't vignette. Makes the ugly ducking lens look even more silly.<br> Of course, the whole point of this lens is all the aberrations and low contrast. A hood? Really?<br> But it sure is a cool lens!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
