Best regards

I never much cared for rubber hoods. They always get deformed in my gear bag, making their usefulness somewhat random.
Check keh.com for an original hood.

If you use a rubber hood you will not see past it through the viewfinder. I tried it, and had to take it back.
The original hood for the Mamiya 6 75mm lens is marked "G 3.5/75 L"
The original hood for the Mamiya 7 80mm lens is marked "N 4/80 L"
They appear to be absolutely exactly the same. If you're looking for a second hand one either will do.
Also, they attach by bayonet and store on the lens in reverse position: quite compact and handy.

This is true. Mamiya sent me the 80mm hood for the "7" when I ordered a replacement for the 75mm hood for the "6".

Thanks but that was the easy part to find.. The hard part seems to be for KEH to give me shipping qoute.. And having paid UPS $98.0 for shipping a filmholder costing $50 filmholder in the past has been the lesson needed to ask for shipping cost BEFORE committing to buy...

I can't help you find one but would like to point out that even $31 seems an outrageous price for the hood. Its made of plastic - or at least mine is....Why not keep an eye out on the 'bay for such a low risk purchase? Worth getting though - I find in combnination with a neoprene hood (see pic) its a great way of avoiding 'blackouts'...
