I have seen at least a dozen 85/1.2 60-year anniversary lenses for sale in the last year. None of them had hoods. I was told that many photographers simply tossed the hood aside since this lens is used for potraits in studios with controlled lighting. Others have said that this specific hood was too short, and therefore of not much use.
Nevertheless, I recently purchased one of these fine lenses without the hood, but I would still like to have one.
If there is anyone out there who has forgotten about it, tossed it aside, or otherwise does not use/need it, please consider selling it to me. I will pay an embarrassing amount for it.
I also posted a thread in the buy/sell forum, but people seldom look there unless they are buying.
Thank you,
David
P.S. I could also really use a 77/86 ring....
