A simple Kalt or similar generic 67mm metal screw in lens hood will  
do a reasonable job. It won't be optimal for the lens at 90mm focal  
length, but it will be good enough for most purposes so as not to  
matter.

Such things are available in the US for about $10, less if found used  
in a swap meet bin.
