In fact, using a longer hood on the Z 40mm f/2 confers advantages when the lens is used in bad weather. Also for IR, the longer the shade, the better, as IR photography always is prone to flare issues.

Hello Birna, the HN21 was the lenshood for the 3,5/75-150 series E, the 2,0/85 had the lenshood with spring called HS10.

I used the HN-21  on my 85/2. I positively dislike the "snap on" hoods which all tend to be rather "snap off". Udsually I glue the springs with epoxy glue.

I actually like this dance a lot. I don't know why many people are shitting on this lens despite knowing that it's made for economy and compactness  :o :o :o
