In the past few months I've returned to shooting a lot on my F2 & F3 after spending some time with Fuji digital. I don't miss the EVF or APS-c format at all, but I do miss Fuji's excellent square lens hoods, especially for the 18 & 35mm primes. Looking at the hood for the 18mm (28 equivalent) and then the hoods for my 28mm AI'd nikkor I don't have any doubts as to which is more effective.
While I understand that part of the reason Fuji can get away with such an intense hood on a wide angle is probably the APS format, I was wondering if it's possible to get similiar hoods for Nikon lenses, or maybe an adapter to try using the fuji hoods (bayonet is MUCH, MUCH nicer than screw-in for my purposes).
Does anyone have any leads for (in particular)
20mm 2.8 AF-d
28mm 2 Ai'd
50mm 1.2 AIS
105mm 2.5 AI

Thanks for the help. I also recently saw a Minolta 20mm lens (on instagram) using a hood that was essentially a rectangular mask for the front element (the 28-70 angenieux also uses this type) and would be open to trying one especially for the wide-angles.
