that is the lense that a have in my pancake and it works great. just make sure that the thickness of it will fit in the slot on the sheild. i think it only ran me alittle over $100 for it.

They have 2x4 auto lenses that are the same size and thickness as your shaded glass that goes in your standard hood now..

i had the same problem with my tiger hood from fibremetal ,,,,,,,,,,,too thick,,,,,,,just cut the hood slot with a razor knife ,or file it down a bit so the thicker lens will slide in........
