Anyone know where to get an HN-6 or HS-3 hood or any one that is compatible with the 55mm ƒ1.2 SC? I haven\'t been able to find one. I am using the HR-2 rubber hood now which works fine, but like Curtis, I like the aesthetics of the metal hoods.

Those two are hard to find Tony, I use the 50 1.2\'s HS-12 on the 55 1.2s, or the HN-24 with a 52 to 62mm thread adapter, either looks great. The HS-12 can be found new in e-bay from FujisunriseUSA for $29.50 shipped from Hong Kong, bought three so far with no issues. Either of these don\'t mount backwards but I do not mount the HS shades backwards for transport as this is asking for scratches on your focusing ring. I also have an 58mm 1.2\'s HS 7 bought new in e-bay, same seller for $30, works well and can be reversed on the lens if that is desired.
