Yes, there are such things, but you need to be careful with them.  I have only 
one, a 58-55mm that I use on a 150/5.6 Schneider Symmar with my 6x9/6x7 gear.  
I would hesitate to use one on a so-called "normal" focal length lens, and 
never on a wide angle.  But in the case you cite as your intended use, it might 
not be a problem.

However, 49-40mm is a pretty big drop, and although it could work, I'm guessing 
nobody makes one like that.  I suppose you could find two and screw them 
together, but why?  What's wrong with just using a 49mm hood?

I must be missing something.
