lens hood

Re: lens hood

No, it won't fit on there and even it did you would see the edges in the picutue.

I have the Centruy .7 wide on my camera and I got so fed up with the prices of the lens hoods and matte boxes that I made my own lens hood.

I went to a local crafts store and bought a big styrofoam ball and carved away until I had a basic shape of the lens hood I wanted and sanded the rest away until it did not show in the picture when put on my lens.

Then I used some modeling clay to harden and strenghten it.  I sanded the molding clay down smooth and then painted it with some textured spray paint from the craft store.

Cost:  about $30 in materials.
Satisfaction of not forking over hundreds of dollars for something that simply blocks light: Priceless

I will post a photo of my lens hood as soon as  figure out how to put a picture in my message
