"Just what it says. "
"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:-) "
"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). "
