The first 50/1.0 used 58mm filters and came with a hood that
bayonetted onto two pins; the second used 60mm filters and had the
same kind of hood; the third used 60mm filters and used a clip on
hood. If you need the last type of hood, I have an unused one (no
box) that doesn't fit my lens, as my lens is the second type.
Let me know.
