I can second the recomendation of the Walz hood. It's very well made, and does not intrude into the FOV.
Another hood that I found to be useful is a Minolta, illustrated here. Besides the number shown, it is imprinted Minolta Japan. It fits nicely on the 50/1.2, and is a well designed clamp-on style. I have no idea what it was made for, as Minolta isn't one of my areas. It may not be as deep as some would like, but any hood is better than none, and the 1.2, in my experience, hasn't been severely flare prone. I admit to having done relatively little shooting with that lens.
I'd like to see any alternatives to this, and any of the other lenses, particularly the very scarce hoods, like the one for the 50/0.95. With the demise of used camera shops, we need all the help we can get finding useful things 😀
