Hood for Bronica Zenzanon-PS 50/3.5

brunico · Jul 7, 2011

Is there a dedicated hood for the Bronica Zenzanon-PS 50/3.5?

I've seen hoods for the Zenzanon-S (67mm filter size): they're square and attach by bayonet. But the Zenzanon-PS (77mm filter size) has no bayonet fitting.

There are some generic 77m screw-in hoods on ebay, but I'm not convinced they'd be wide enough.

I've not seen a dedicated one. There are shallow "wide angle" 77 mm hoods that work for me. Attempting to stack a couple of filters could start trouble though, I was surprised how sensitive that lens is for vignetting -- I mean it's hardly what one would call "ultra wide."

I have a dedicated hood for my 50mm and it has spring loaded pins that lock into holes on the lens. I think there two rectangular holes in the lens barrel that the pins lock into. I found my hood on ebay.

There's a rubber wideangle hood made by B+W that should be wide enough, if you can't find the dedicated hood.

My professor told me that a mamiya 7 slip on hood would work, and it has been working for nearly a year now!

Thanks, all!

(Marvin - you must have the S version, as there are no holes on the PS. I have a similar bayonet hood for the 150mm S.)
