I have this HOYA hood. Works like a charm on my 90/2. Found mine in a dollar
a piece cut bin in Vancouver.

> I've got one that I have used with not only the 90/2 and 135/4.5, but also
the 50/2.  However, I've also got an old metal Tiffen screw-in hood that I
use more often, particularly when using a filter, and always if the filter
is a polarizer.  That's one of the reasons I don't care for the clamp-ons.

this, which will work just as well, if not better in many circumstances, and
is cheaper and actually obtainable, not to mention adjustable:
