After a little more research the "Takumar 49mm Metal Lens Hood" was also highly recommended by a few owners and one was for sale on Ebay for a decent price so bought it...I'll follow this up when I've tried it out

Thanks...I'll give that one a try if the Takumar doesn't work out

Just to follow this up after a bit of research I bought a metal Takumar 135-150mm (49mm thread) lens hood off ebay for £10 and it works perfectly

I must admit that having given it some thought I prefer the idea of a metal hood - I look at them as a form of lens protection (prefer not to use UV filters etc)
The rubbber ones look a very good cheap option though

Are you sure you want a metal hood for protection? There is no give in metal and all a shock will be transmitted to the lens. A plastic or rubber hood will absorb some shock as it flexes.

Swings & roundabouts I suppose John...I was thinking more about the glass than the lens body but I see your point, I can't see the collapsible rubber one providing any glass protection - obviously the idea is not to drop a lens in the first place though Quote:

Rubber is better as it absorbs. I know it has happened to me. Glad I had the rubber hood on and it was grass rather than concrete. But still, it helped.
The lens? fine!
