I think I'll go with Dante, Adrian and Joseph's suggestion, since they have used a generic 43mm hood with this lens. If I can find the Waltz or Hoya hood at some point, great. But if the generic hood does not vignette but still provides adequate stray-light shielding, that's probably the easiest and cheapest way to deal with the issue. The ability to use a generic lens cap is a bonus--taking the hood on and off as one changes lenses is a pain and a time-waster. The Nikon hood is decidedly conical. I read somewhere that it is calculated to give maximum shielding without vignetting, but the price it exacts in the viewfinder is too much on an M. - --Peter
