From the feedback page:

"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. "
"Pretty great idea, really. They may look a little silly in the field, but they're probably pretty great for using elsewhere. "
"If you don't want to pay $30 for a piece of plastic that they call alens hood, download these and make your own. A heck of a lot cheaper. "
