Bought a 2nd hand one from ebay but has no hood. Called Pentax but they could not give me a price for one without the number of the hood!!! I am surprised that Pentax don't know the model number of the hoods they supply with their lenses.

Any how could some kind soul please give me the lens hood number of theirs for me so I could order one.

Many thanks

Seems to be a modern day scourge when staff don't have a clue.

Available on the Pentax website is the Spec sheet PDF for the lens here.

Part number is 'Lens Hood PH-RBK67 Code No. 38754'

Agreed.

I contacted SRS about a hood for my DA 16-45mm after it snapped and they had no problem getting one although the price was £25 so I decided super glue and some black insulating tape was cheaper (although a lot less elegant).

Perhaps they should be SOS Microsystems...

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

A lens hood affords good protection to the front element without the image degradation imposed by some, even expensive, filters. £25 isn't that bad a price.

£25 is a bargain compared to the replacement hood for a DA 21mm ltd, if I remember I was quoted £45 for one and all it is, is a lens cap with a square hole cut in it. I ended up making one out of an old M42 Takumar push on lens cap.
