Hood for Bronica ETRSi 60mm lens

[abruzzi]

so I recently bought a couple OEM hoods for my Bronica lenses. One says 75mm and the other says 105-250mm. I don’t own, but I’ve seen a 40-50mm hood too. That leaves my little Zenzanon PE 60mm f2.8 sad. The 75mm hood seems to mount, but not lock on the 60, and I don’t see any vignetting. I’m going to shoot some test and develop them this weekend, but this brings up a few questions:

• Did Bronica make a hood specifically for the 60? I’ve never seen one for sale.
• Is the 75mm hood supposed to work on the 60?
• Has anyone else actually tested the narrower hood on the wider lens?

Any feedback on this is welcome. The 60mm is one of my favorite lenses on this system, and I’d love to have whatever hood is designed for it.

There was one hood for the Zenzanon 75mm and for the 60mm - scroll down to page 15 :

edit: The 60mm is a very nice lens - just as the -often underated- 105mm f/3.5

thats a great reference, thanks! I know the 60mm was a much later lens, it doesn't show up in most of the documentation and flyers I've seen. So my hood, which only says 75mm, was probably made before the 60 was released, but its still the same hood that is compatible with both. (all my lenses are PE lenses, so I don't have to deal with the wierd 75m E lens that has 58mm threads.)

EDIT: Another interesting thing from that link--my entire ETRSi kit (not counting a spare ETRS body I don't use and a couple of focus screens I acquired) originally cost $17,107.30. Wow.

Do not mistake the mechanical fit diameter with the question of locking in place or whether or not the hood will cause VIGNETTING when the 75mm lens hood is used on 60mm FL. Also, the shade may not lock on properly!
I have PE 75mm and hood, and PE 40mm and hood. The 75mm hood can fit, but does not lock in place, and causes vignetting when on the 40mm lens; and the 40mm hood fits the 75mm PE but does not lock in place..

I’m well aware of that, my question was about vignetting. However the B&H reference and I found on Tamron’s old site (on archive.org) the 75mm hood is listed as also being for the 60mm. It looks like there are 4 hoods for the PE series lenses—the 40-50, the 60-75, a 100, and a 105-250. In addition, there are factory removable hoods bundled with the 105 macro, the 45-90 zoom, and built in hoods on the 30, 100-220, and 500.
