I don't have (and I'm unlikely to get) full frame. However, on APS-C (K-3 and K-70) the lens on the camera for most of the things I shoot is the D-FA 28-105 - amazing quality for the lens type and size - with the 21 Limited in a pocket (or on the other camera), in case a wider view is required.

There are also some screw-on type petal hoods available, e.g. -

Having tried it several times, the 55-300 Pentax is not much use at airshows because of the slow focusing (though the very latest PLM version is said to be a lot faster, it won't work on the K-5, and - I don't think - on the original K-3).

Quote K-3 Firmware update V.1.30:
"Enable new lens HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mmF4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE to shoot stable by updating firmware".

Interesting angles and good colours, John, and number 3 is number 1 for me! (A minor point - it would be good to see the whole shadow in the last one.) A nice set of an attractive place.

Cheers.

I think the first mono version is the best here, although I also like the first colour image after removing the vignette effect.

Cheers.
