Where to buy Nikon lens hoods for these lenses...

[ted_smith]

Hi

After enduring a particularily frustrating morning in the rain I discovered that I need some lens hoods to keep the surfaces dry for the following 3 lenses :

Standard Nikon 50mm 1.8D (52mm thread),
Superwide Nikon 20mm 2.8D (62mm thread)
Macro Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 60mm 2.8D (62mm thread)

I have looked at 7dayshop.com, and Amazon.co.uk but they don't appear to sell Nikon hoods for the lenses above. Can anyone recommend somewhere for me to buy hoods for the above 3 lenses? (I already have a hood for my 80-200mm 2.8 zoom)

Thanks

Ted

Well there is always ebay, but that can be hit or miss. KEH.com might be able to help although they are in the states. Also you could try http://www.bhphotovideo.com/. They are in the states also but have an absolutely huge selection. I am sure that there are many more.
You could also try looking around on Nikonians for someone selling them. Or you could ask on the message boards there to get some sources. There might be a Nikonian in the UK that can add to a more local list.

Calumet Photo has a UK store on-line. They'll have them.

Except for the 20mm which I am sure has a special lens hood, you should be able to use any lens hood with appropriate thread diameter.

The 20mm lens hood won't be of much help in the weather. It's such a skinny affair that I wouldn't waste the $$ on it (I have one but wish I saved the $, I don't see it as very functional).

The others should provide some relief from the weather.
