Can anyone who owns an HC9 tell me the part number for the supplied lens hood? It's possible it might be listed in the manual. Any help appreciated as I'm trying to track down a 37mm hood.

Thanks!

EDIT: I've downloaded the manual and taken a look but no mention of a part number. What I'm trying to work out is whether or not Sony sell the hood as a spare.

Thanks for that - I'm really after a metal one though. At present the best I can find is a generic 43mm hood with a 37-to-43mm stepping ring.

Cheers mate.

EDIT: For future reference, I've established that the part number is 306351541 (US$19.95). Now attempting to see whether this is available in Europe, as the sonystyle.co.uk website denies all knowledge of the same part. Sheesh.
