From the feedback page:

"Gah, I paid Ł30 for my 28-135 IS hood!!! "
"This is REALLY cool, talk about a way to carry Long Lens hoods easily, heck, you can make several as "throw-aways'. I think I'd print onregular paper which I would then tape to some heavy black card stock tocut for the hood. Can't beat the price that is great. I love innovation :>))))))) "
"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). "

Still want a real lens hood? Bah! Take a look at the photography section on amazon.com.
