From the feedback page:

"All you need for completion is an L-Series rubber band or a piece of PVC tape - red, of course - to secure the tabs around the lens. ;-) "
"These DIY hoods are the cheap alternatives to the originals. "
"Who the hell buys a 600mm f4 and don't put down the extra bucks to get a plastic hood? "
