Ouch! Hi Bucky
The nerve of them charging a dedicated hood for your FA* 28-70 f2.8 zoom lens which should come with your lens purchase. When I bought my FA* 28-70 f2.8 lens it came with the dedicated hood. My conclusion is that they either broke off your kit and intend on selling it to you seperately or when they bought it used from the seller it didn`t come with the dedicated hood. I have never purchased from B&H so I can`t comment about them however I do hear alot of good reports about them. Maybe tell them that the hood when bought new always comes with the lens and see what happens.
You can use my comments about this situation if it will help a bit.
Good luck Bucky
BTW it is a nice lens, very rich in colours and prime quality throughout its range.

I have just received an FA* 28-70 f/2.8 bought used from B&H. The lens was
advertised on their web site as 9+ condition, and arrived in an original box
with packing. However, the dedicated lens hood is missing.
I have emailed them, and will contact them tomorrow by phone, but depending
on their conduct, I may find myself in the unenviable situation of having to
prove that they shorted me and that I am not trying to screw them out of an
extra hood. I've looked at their site, and the hood is about US$75 new, so
we are not talking about a trivial item.
Has anyone dealt with B&H on similar issues? If so, how was their service?
Cheers,
Mike
