Thanks Kostas, I guess the hood will do a good job around that big front lens. I looked into an older Pentax pricelist, where the hood alone was listed for 69,- EUR. I'll see what my local dealer can do, I just want to wait for the lens to arrive and to be OK, before I spend more money. I think that with the 24mm any other hood solution wouldn't be but mediocre.
