The lens hood as supplied is the HN-27. It is less than 1 inch long. Not surprisingly, way too short to effectively block light sources that cause low contrast or weird light rays on your images.
However it is possible to get an effectively longer hood.....
Turns out that the Tamron Adaptall 2 500mm F8 reflex lens uses a metal hood that is about 4 inches long and fits, without adapter, into the HN-27, just screw it in. This hood is sometimes available on that auction place.....
