This petal hood is designed to be printed on A4 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.

This simple, rounded hood is designed to be printed on A4 paper. Rounded hoods are most suited to tilt-shift lenses or any other lens that may cause the lens hood to be rotated when it is zoomed or focussed.

Please follow these instructions for guidance on printing and fitting the lens hood to your Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.

From the feedback page:

"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 :>))))))) "
"Thanks! Thought about it for a while, but never got to doing it. Your tips saves me time! Will use good paper or plastic so it will last longer:-) "
"Could save you some bucks if you're super frugal. "

Still want a real lens hood? Bah! Take a look at the photography section on amazon.com.

I'm still working on free lenses, but in the meantime, you can buy them from my recommended retailer :).
