However, I have and like the latest 50mm f2 with the built in hood very well also. I think it is a better choice unless you insist on dropping the camera on the hood. Sincerely, Joe Stephenson +++++++ Byron wrote: [cut] As I said last time, I'm most interested in the focal lengths 35/50/90. For the 50mm lens I'm really tempted to find the older style summicron with the clip-on round lens hood. This is the lens I rented, and I was very happy with it. Given my experience that and with the 35mm hood, I don't think I'd want to go for the new 50mm with the built-in hood. [cut]
