The rubber hood for a Mamiya 55/2.8 L/S or N/L should work, it's 67mm and designed for a ~35mm FoV on 35mm FF.

Contax made rubber rings too, less expensive than the metal ones.

There are also alternative step-up rings in metal on ebay, works like a charm but you'd still need the (metal) shade/hood. A thin one, #1 to #3 should be fine. I use them mainly for protection.

Edit. I think I bought one of these in wait for a reasonably priced original:
