What hood are you using? Which model of the original Pentax hood can it use?
Seems like can only accept screw-ons as their is no bayonet thread...

just FYI, I bought the one in the 2nd eBay link, but it is not as deep as the one pictured in the last pic of creampuff's post

Many would argue it's expensive. But finishing wise, it's one of the best and you only get it once. So might as well get the best.
Practically the China made ones (two hoods on the left) are pretty good, just $10sgd you'd have a free matching clip on cap:
I'd have to say that these ones are really good. So good that I have given up on all original hoods other than the one for the FA85. Metal, well made, cheap, deep enough, convenience of the hood cap just wins over most of the hoods.
Nah, my Pentax original matching screw on hood (RH-R49) is far better looking, and it's probably better built too

Ebay.... just search for "49mm metal hood screw on".

If you really wanna buy front caps, go for these:
This is one of the best quality front caps I've ever had. You can find them in local stores like Manly
49mm? How muchy?? Been looking for those caps. Bought some from the Mass sales from Clubsnap, but don't quite like the quality.
I bought a 52mm hood and it includes a cap for the hood

I bought it bundled w/ some other purchase, but individually they are selling around $10 or less I think, much better than those cheap cheap type I saw in some other shops or MO ones.
