If the used lens you buy has become separated from it's native shade, new or used shades can almost always be purchased, often at breathtaking prices. Which shade is best for which lens is a matter of almost endless debate...plastic versus metal, square versus round, vented versus un-vented, et cetera. I favor clip-on vented shades which break away when bumped hard and don't collapse without notice. Please don't ask about shades which take series filters! Others on the list swear by the telescoping hoods, go figure.

How about the lenses without built-in lens hood such as 21, 35 and 50 F2.8 and ? Is the hood included or I need to buy? Thanks Terry Sham
