I currently only have hoods on my DA18-55, and DA50-200. I don't have hoods for the primes.
dk ========= I didn't use to. Now I do. Went out of my way to buy a hood for a lens that didn't have one a few months ago. Well, part of it is I am using Canon which flares more than Pentax. The other part is, I've read on list enough now about how some lenses have been "saved" when they were dropped by the hoods, i.e. the hood protected the glass. Maybe that won't work with cheaper and/or newer plastic lenses, but it sounds good to me. Not that I ever plan on dropping a camera or a lens.
