My apologies to all V8 users for using such a fine camera for a little humor. Perhaps I should have PS it on to the front of a Norma. Personally, I actually use the 8x10 dark slide with my V8 as a ready made lens shade and it's usually worked very well for me, although I agree a compendium hood would be optimum.
