Pentax FA 28mm lens hood?

Just wondering what everyone is using for a lens hood with this lens?

I saw options in an old thread on PU when Googling several options ranging from hard metal screw in types, to the clip on square plastic type to a traditional rubber one. I prefer the option of a metal screw in type but I don't want it to vignette, nor do I want it to be so wide it does nothing so I'm in limbo with what one to buy?!

Amy advice?

Thanks

There will be a dedicated bayonet fit petal hood and this will be quickest to lock on and remove.
Best regards, John

I was hoping that it'd be like the FA 35mm but alas no, it only has a filter thread

I'll probably have to do the same, that or experiment

Buy a metal one for a 28mm Takumar. They are pretty common on ebay.
