Anyone know if any monorail camera manufacturer ever made a folding focusing hood for one of their metal cameras?
I'm contemplating making one for my Toyo G, but thought it might be better to modify a factory-made hood.
Thanks

It's easy to make a hood for the Toyo G because the back already has clips and a sliding bar lock for the frame, which you can easily make from plywood. See my recent post here.

I saw it before, Neal, and I like your neoprene hood a lot.
But I was wondering about a hood that folds flat, like most 4x5 hoods.
Thanks, though, I may end up going that route, it's a great and simple design.
