Now I use a 105mm hood for a Pentax 105mm screw lens together with a 48 to 49 mm adapter ring. This worked well, no vignetting. Similar with the Cannon 135 f3.5 chrome lens, I use a 135mm hood from a Pentax 135 f3.5 screw lens with the same adapter. These lens hoods are very efficient. They are metal, not rubber , look good and are nice and long. Both of them, I picked up from the odds and sots box in a couple of photo shops. They don't seem to be rare and are reasonable priced. I think I paid around $5.- for both of them. Regards, Horst Schmidt
