From the feedback page:

"wow - i've been scouring eBay for 3rd party hoods recently for my lenses - this is a great alternative though. I just cannot believe the price they charge for such a simple piece ofplastic with no moving parts and no specialist engineering - that's gotto be the worst example of profiteering i've ever seen. "
"I'm off to make an EOS 5D copy using only an empty cornflakes packet, a plastic bottle and a roll of double sided sticky tape. "
"print and cut lens hoods...very cool "
