From the feedback page:

"Hey, if it works and you have three for each lens all ready to go in your gear bag, barely taking up any space, why the hell not? I suppose for some people it doesn't look professional enough. "Image is everything, eh" :-D "
"This is a wonderful idea, and best of all, it's all free! Cardboardlens hoods work just as well as metal or plastic for shading, with theadvantage that they are a lot easier to store (just fold flat). "
"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. "

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 :).
