I got a little confused with this (the way the hood mounts to the lens) too.
Moose mentioned a 'little groove' and I first thought of the bayonet mount I
know from my dad's late 90s Tamron zoom. Than I had a closer look at my lens
(and a dictionary) and found I actually have a 'little groove' on my old MF
80-200/2.8. No bayonet but a simple narrow groove engraved on the outside of
the metal front ring (goes all the way around the lens).
So is the MH-774 the right hood for the older MF versions too?
I can't confirm the $60 Jim Brokaw mentioned but it's still a 25,- EURO for
the #MH-774 hood in germany.
Yesterday I wrote the seller of my Tokina if he still has the hood (maybe he
just forgot about it, you never know). No answer yet.

The MH-774 is a screw-on metal lens hood...At least the one for my 80-200
(OM mount) was. There were no bayonet lugs on the front of that lens.
Later AF 80-200s use the bayonet mount, but did the MF models ever get there
before they were discontinued? (Early AF models were also screw-thread for
the shades and the MH-774 was at one time shared by both the AF 80-200 and
100-300.)
