I'm not sure this is the right hood, the add says the hood is for a 
82mm diameter lens, and mine is less wide than that (even a 72mm cap 
is too wide). Is it not the B6FH hood, for the newer Tamron 17mm 
model? Anyway the seller ships to United States only - I'm in France.

So, no polarizing filter for this lens... :-(

Thanks again Piers!
