too radical?

None of my lens has shades :D IIRC you have mostly modern lens so flare wont be too much of a problem will it Joe ;) Use filter for protection if you want.
 
Winter's coming, you're in Canada...you won't be seeing the sun for some time now...I say "Go for it..."
Right now I have the Mamiya 645 45mm lens without the hood...so far it's been okay but I'll be looking for something soon...
 
I have long hair. It acts as a sunshade. And people wonder why I get a haircut 3 times a year.
 
ah sunny alberta, takes me back... or was that snowy alberta?

in the rarest of occasions i have been known to use the old hand shade trick too!
 
James Ravilious used them, even modified them. I saw a Leica shade recently that looked like they stole his idea. I'm not radical, never was, I use them if I can. But I have so many cameras (folders, P&S, and off beat lenses) that I can't find hoods for, that I just shoot and hope. Most of the time it is OK. But I got fooled last spring:

I read all the posts on this thread. Still scared to death to not use a hood. Just yesterday I dropped a lens on a concrete sidewalk. Small dent on the hood. Hate to think of what would have happened w/o a hood.

it's for fun, yes.

and if some want to add something serious that's ok too.

to be honest, i started to think of not using lens shades when i opened a package that contained my domke 2 compartment insert for the f2 bag.
the compartments seem smaller than the 4 compartment i have and i wondered if i might have to make room by leaving the shades off.
