From the feedback page:

"This is definitely an interesting link. I'd never would thought of creating a lens hood out of cardstock. This is great, I've been contemplating whether I should spend money on the hood for my Canon macro lens. At least now there's alternative solution to my problem. "
"This is so cool. This website has lens hoods designed for exact lenses! It caters to both my Olympus (saw DZ50 macro hood) and my Pentax (hood for the pancake lens). You have a choice of round or petal shape. You print the hood and then cut it out. If you want, you can even transfer the design to plastic. These hoods are designed for each lens and manufacturer. "
"I'm off to make an EOS 5D copy using only an empty cornflakes packet, a plastic bottle and a roll of double sided sticky tape. "

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 :).
