Hi Teemu,

The lens hood I have for this lens is the one designated for the 35-70/f4 lens. 
 Try to get a second hand one (my two cost $3 and $10) which is alot cheaper 
than the $55 quoted for a new one.  

goodluck

I too bought this lens last week but haven't had a chance to give it a
workout. It seems that when the close focusing is activated the closest
working distance is about 30 cm from the front element (haven't measured
it though). This is when the lens is set to 50 mm mark: it cannot be set
to a shorter focal lenght when the close focusing is activated. Whether
the focal lengt really is 50 mm for the shortest focusing distance I'm
not sure.

Did I understand the lens hood cross reference correctly, does the tulip
type hood of 35-80/2.8 fit the 35-105?
