    I'm sure anyone with a bit of common sense would notice the difference between a post about lens hoods and a post saying "please keep it polite"

    You would think that wouldn't you? Mods often here people winging that they didn't know it was a mod talking etc. *shrrugs*

    Anywhome.. back on topic.

    Actually, aesthetically speaking, my favourite lens hood is the one from my 10-20. It's pretty and bumpy.

    Much nicer than the zoom ones.

    The 14-24 has a permanent one.

    I love the hood on the 24-70 while the 300mm without a hood attracts a lot of flare.

    The 80-200 I am ambivilent about the hood and whether it offers anything other than protection

    I have lens hoods for most of my gear and it gets used everytime they go on the camera. Simplest way to protect the front element.

    :)

    you could use a foldable packaway one!!!

    I was up the Comeragh Mountain range the year before last and while climbing a particularly uneven outcrop the camera swung off my shoulder clattering into a big granit rock - was i ever glad i had the lens hood on it - the force actually caused it to fly off the lens, but no doubt it did it's job!
    and i think it's easier to have a hood on rather than trying to use your hand - obviously two hands on the camera is better. I do find them akward with polarising filters ok, but it's a matter of getting used to coping with them.
