I've obtained an original Pentax Metal hood (MH-RB52) to go with this little beauty.
If you want to know a little more about this lens in use take a look at the views and images from NorhtCoastGreg...

I might have picked this up if I had remembered in good time 
One of those lenses that I've never tried out.
