Can someone explain why the Takumar 20mm f4.5 lens hood comes in two parts? I understand the lens has a 58mm filter thread, but does the OEM hood being in two parts mean a standard hood does not fit?

Is it to allow a filter to be used ?

The actual filter size of the lens is 58mm, but the hood is in two parts to enable 77mm filters to be fitted between the two parts. This is to avoid vignetting being caused by the filter.
