I recently purchased the Tamron AF28-200mm Super II-zoom, macro (F/3.8-5.6) for Pentax-AF. I was wondering if you could answer a technical question about the lens. Specifically, my question concerns the lens hood. I prefer not using one. But I am concerned that my photographs might be compromised if I don't use it. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the possible consequences of shooting without the hood. I have been using a Sigma AF-28-80mm zoom, macro (55mm lens diameter) and I have not experienced any detrimental affects by not employing the hood. Is it more essential to use the hood with this larger diameter lens (72mm)? Any feedback you could give me would be very much appreciated. I can be reached at stubert53@aol.com. Thanks much, Stuart
