Dawid,
I would imagine it will require some modification for a 24mm f2.0 however I
never succeeded in acquiring that lens for my kit bag so can't test
personally (someone send me one and I will be happy to test ;). But
seriously a bit of work with a Dremel tool should be all that is required.
You can approach it in two ways, as a simple reduction in depth of the whole
hood or attempt to fashion a petal style hood by working at the corners. The
choice between the two would be how involved you want to get versus how
close you want to get to optimum shading.
Since he hasn't piped up yet I will share the Moose approved hood testing
method. You will need the following; a light box or other light source, some
wax paper, your camera with lens attached and the hood under test. First
thing is to install the hood on the lens and place the camera nose down on
the light box (obviously with the lens cap off!). Then open the back of the
camera and place a piece of the waxed paper across the film gate. You should
then see a projection of the vignetting if there is any from the lens and
hood combination.
Have fun with it!

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the info and links, in my research in the past couple of
days I have also
come across the Konica lens hood, it does look very nice. However, do
you think it will
need modification for 24mm to prevent vignetting?
regards,
Dawid
