Now I get it.
OK will probably get a hood for the DA-L next month along with a few other bits and bobs I want .
I'm not going to put a Samsung marked hood on my Pentax lens - would look daft and anyway I wish to be able to sell the Samsung 18-55 so it will need it's hood

BUT [ here I go again ]
Why the difference in types of hoods ?
my kit DA-L 18-55 doesn't have one
The Samsung 18-55 has a 'flower petal' one [ I'm sure there's an official description of that ]
The Samsung 50-200 has a sort of Flower Pot one - not quite a tube , but it's not far off

As I can see from the 3 lenses in my house - there's more than one type of hood ?

Iceblinker said
Lens glass and coatings are actually quite robust and are only damaged if you're exceptionally unlucky or careless, [b]especially if using a hood]/b].
So why are some lenses supplied with hoods and others aren't ?

I understand mine is actually made by Hoya but badged for someone else
It could make a very interesting thread

Hi, also bought a Kx recently for much the same reason as Derek and starting to learn, Decades ago when I had a film SLR it was common practice to have a filter (I think UV) fitted which stayed on permanently - as much as to protect the lens as to improve photos I think.
Gazing at my pristine new lenses (bought a zoom as well) - is this a good idea and if so what type of filter should I fit??
Thanks in advance for help.
Steve
I've a UV filter on my K-x's 18-55 and, till I get another one, I change it to the 50-200 if I'm using that. Sorry don't think I've helped you at all
