Not necessarily so, for bellows lenses in general.

In this specific case, as with the 50/3.5 Macro, the front element is recessed 
and the cone shaped, ridged area in front 
of it acts as a built-in hood.

The 135/4.5 does require a hood for best flare resistance.

One could certainly find a hood of some sort to add, but as Don says, it's not 
needed.
