Just purchased a compendium lens hood for my toyo 45a without carefully reading the description - it's actually the hood that mounts on the G/GX. Has anyone ever adapted this hood for a 45a? I have metalworking tools (dremmel, mig welder, tap and die) and no fear of cutting into things. From what I can gather, the 45g hood has a nut and two pins that attach to the front standard. My 45a has a threaded hole, but not the blanks that the pins would go into. If I were to cut off the pins, would it attach? I'm also told the other difference is an adapter on the back that can be fashioned out of duct tape.
