Anyone know if Vivitar included a lens hood with the Series 1 70-210mm f3.5 zoom? I have one in Olympus OM mount that I bought used; it came with the case and caps but no lens hood. It's an otherwise excellent lens but prone to flaring at the shorter lengths.
 
I mostly use a fairly standard 67mm rubber hood on the two I have. The angle of view when at the 70 position is pretty narrow and so most general hoods don't have a problem of vignetting. This is a really good lens BTW but you probably know this by now...
Which version it this?
 
I have a copy of that lens (Vivitar Series 1 70-210 3.5 Version 1 P/K mount)
I've never had or used a lens hood with it...never even thought to use one with it...
I bought this lens new about 100 years ago or so it would seem...Sent it back to Vivitar for repair when the focusing ring stuck on me...if I recall correctly they didn't have the parts to fix it completely and although it's never stuck on me since the focusing ring does slip when stood on one end...
