Earl,
I broke the screw off my 90/2 hood trying to make it fit tighter. I
believe I found a replacement, sort of, at a local hobby store. I may have
had to tap out the hole a little bit because I'm pretty sure I had to drill
out the remainder of the screw. Not elegant, but a step up from duct tape,
and the hood is firmly attached to the lens now, to which I no longer worry
about attaching a lens cap, since the hood is so long.
