This is not the most popular time for lens hoods (thanks, Steve ) but here it goes.
I designed and printed this lens hood for my use. A fun home project intersecting various interests.
When compared with the original hood, this one is better at blocking stray light, is smaller, and has an integrated cap.
The compact size of the hood means I am less inclined to detach it for storage.
The integrated cap makes it quicker and easier to protect the lens when it’s not in use.
It’s also harder to lose and is one less accessory to keep in my pocket.
I also like that the cap sits further away from the front lens element.
Little magnets keep the cap steady when it’s flipped.
