I think your only chance (apart from getting another KM 28-75 on ebay for spares) is to get the one that fits the Tamron lens, it should fit, they are supposed too be almost the same lens. Have a look here, http://www.camera-warehouse.com.au/2/40 ... slr_lensesyou might have too contact them and ask if it will fit first before you buy.

I find it inconceivable that the KM and Tamron versions would differ so much that the lens hoods were not interchangeable. Check out Kurt Munger's reviews of these lenses, including the Sony SAM version. His highly descriptive and consistent product shots should show you all you need to know:

Sony version
KM version
Tamron version

The Tamron hood fits.

Hi,

You probably already know about them but Phototronic Services may have spares.

Got a new hood (Tamron DA09) and it fits OK, thanks to the guys at Camera and Video in Christchurch
