Download A4 Petal hood for Pentax SMC 40mm f/2.8 DA

This petal hood is designed to be printed on A4 paper. Petal hoods offer superior shading characteristics compared with simple rounded hoods.

These lens hoods may be free, but they don't make themselves. If you find them useful or entertaining, please consider making a small donation. I will be eternally grateful :) Thanks! -- Paul.

Download A4 rounded hood for Pentax SMC 40mm f/2.8 DA

This simple, rounded hood is designed to be printed on A4 paper. Rounded hoods are most suited to tilt-shift lenses or any other lens that may cause the lens hood to be rotated when it is zoomed or focussed.

Please follow these instructions for guidance on printing and fitting the lens hood to your Pentax SMC 40mm f/2.8 DA.

From the feedback page:

"I hope he makes enough to keep it running, it's a superb idea. "
"Save money, easy to customise (maybe with flames like Setzler?)! "
"That's great - I've been looking for a hood for my Tokina 19-35 for ages, and now I've got two (one petal, one round) for free! "

Still want a real lens hood? Bah! Take a look at the photography section on amazon.com.

I'm still working on free lenses, but in the meantime, you can buy them from my recommended retailer :).
