This petal hood is designed to be printed on A2 paper. Petal hoods offer superior shading characteristics compared with simple rounded hoods.
These lens hoods may be free, but they don't make themselves. If you find them useful or entertaining, please consider making a small donation. I will be eternally grateful :) Thanks! -- Paul.

From the feedback page:
- "This is so cool. This website has lens hoods designed for exact lenses! It caters to both my Olympus (saw DZ50 macro hood) and my Pentax (hood for the pancake lens). You have a choice of round or petal shape. You print the hood and then cut it out. If you want, you can even transfer the design to plastic. These hoods are designed for each lens and manufacturer. "
- "This is REALLY cool, talk about a way to carry Long Lens hoods easily, heck, you can make several as "throw-aways'. I think I'd print onregular paper which I would then tape to some heavy black card stock tocut for the hood. Can't beat the price that is great. I love innovation :>))))))) "
- "These DIY hoods are the cheap alternatives to the originals. "
