Lens hood for FA 35/2
I have exactly the same issue. The Pentax part should still be available and the part number is PH-RB49, however I’ve had one on order from SRS for a couple of months yet and Pentax have yet to deliver it to them. (They are listed at about £21) I did have a plan B in the B&H in the US have them on their web site for $24, but I notice they they are currently our of stock as well.
I guess its just a wait for Pentax to deliver!

My suggestion is ANY standard or collapsable 35-50mm (49 mm diameter) lenshood will work. Optex and optima brands are usually easy to find.
Then perhaps this will do the job http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160525122329&ssPageName=STR...
I purchased a lens hood from that seller and didn't recieve anything, I had too resort to a paypal claim to get my money back, He will go too any extreme to avoid refunding, like sending paypal, fake tracking numbers, and using stalling tactics so the 45 day claim limit expires.

That's annoying - I could do with one for my 35mm f2.4 but if the seller's a crook I'll have to keep looking. Do any honest ebay sellers have the same item (given all the HK-based dealers seem to buy from the same factories)?

I have put one on my 35mm F2.4 and is perfect - no vignetting at all. Plus is acts as a protector too. Cost? About £6!
The older rectangular, metal clip on hoods for the 28/3.5 and 35/2 will work well on this lens and look good too.
Yep, but just try finding one! Genuine hoods for most Pentax lenses seem like gold dust.

I've recently acquired a (Samsung-badged) FA 35/2, but it didn't come with the included hood. Might anyone know where I could find a replacement hood that would fit it? If so, might you please let me know? :
I'd prefer a snap-on hood to a screw-on type, and it would be a bonus if it could be stored on the lens in reverse.
