Any smart ideas for making lens hoods for older barrel lenses?
The obvious solution would be a thin card or foam tube but once squashed they are unlikely to ever be circular again once away from the body of the lens.
Other threads suggest slotted card boxes (more suitable for modern lenses in shutters), adapted 'barn doors' or the simple 'hold up a darkslide' solution (I've photographed my hand more than once trying to do a similar thing )
Something like a 'modified' (='hacked about') Hasselblad compendium shade could be ideal but how to fit it to many different (non-standard) barrel sizes?
Many thanks,
Peter
