Hi Noel.
AFAIK the 28-48 hood is different from the one used on the 35-105 and
the 35-70/4 lenses. The latter two share their hoods (two types, one
screw-in and one slide-on).
The 28-48 takes a 55mm screw-in hood (vs. a 49 mm screw-in filter).
I will have a look for a spare for you tonight - but I am afraid I
won't have one available...
Of course you could use the screw-in hood meant for the 35+ zooms on
the 28-48 with focal lengths between 35 and 48, but in the 28mm
vicinity you will have some vignetting.
