Hood for Minolta 70-210 f4

andrewlee · 28th February 2006

I posted this under the "Interesting Minolta Items" thread, but just in case you did not see it:

hey to all users of the legendary Minolta 70-210 f4.

If you're looking for a replacement lens hood, alex photo at peninsula sells them. although not for the original 70-210 f4, i believe that the hood is common to several old minolta lenses, only the words printed on the hood are different. just bought one for my stovepipe for $20 (it says "80-200" on the hood, but there was another one exactly the same the says "75-200"). the hood clips onto the circular groove on the forward face of the focusing ring.

Hope this helps. alex has quite a few old minolta parts.
