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. "
- "That's great - I've been looking for a hood for my Tokina 19-35 for ages, and now I've got two (one petal, one round) for free! "
- "Cool site, disposable lens hoods for free. "
Still want a real lens hood? Bah! Take a look at the photography section on amazon.com.
