A wideangle hood for 67mm filter thread might be quite bulky, and, as you say, of little use on the long end, but I think the original hood is a little better due to the tulip form. There's a german dealer offering gneric tulip hoods on eekbay, maybe worth a consideration if the price for the original one should really be that high. Anyway, I suppose it's cheaper getting the original hood than going digital, although temptation cannot be denied. My local dealer had a K100D today, which felt quite good, and the shutter seemed so quiet to me. Of course it's smaller than on a film body.
