In the space of 4 weeks I lost both caps and broke both hoods. If you get the hood for the 28/2 and undo the screws that hold the hood on the retaining ring, rotate the hood 180 degrees and re-attach it, you will have a hood that fits the 35/1.4 asph, which has a cover that clips on and stays put. Since I was returning the aspherical, I replaced the hood on that one with the original part. I felt incredibly lucky that the hood wasn't as rare as the lens. Just a thought, although making a new cap sounds good too. That original one appears to mostly be good for falling off and getting lost.
