The groove around the front of the 80-200 AT-X is just a groove. The MH774
is a threaded lens hood -- it threads to your front filter threads or to a
filter (if you have a filter mounted).
If you don't see the actual bayonet lugs sticking out from the front of the
lens, it won't take a bayonet type mount. (I have never seen an OM-mount MF
Tokina AT-X 80-200 with a bayonet hood mount, but that doesn't mean they
don't exist.)
The lens hood that I know clips onto the front of a Tokina lens is the one
for the AT-X 24-40 -- SH721. It has several pairs of thin metal blades that
retract into the base of the hood when you press a couple of buttons on the
outside collar. There may be others that use this attachment method.
I note that all the threaded ones I am aware of are "MH" series, the clip-on
one is an "SH" series, and the slip-on for the 17mm Tokina I used to own is
an "RH" series (RH722).
(All these lenses are, or soon we be, appearing at KEH -- with hoods.)
