First a hearty thanks to Backalley Joe for bringing them to my attention some time ago.

Just got my 40mm metal screw-in lenshood from cameraquest. A bit on the pricey side ($30) but Joe was right, they are well made. Frankly, I was tired of reconnoitering EvilBay for other possible 40mm hoods ... besides, I never win anything (since I don't snipe). So finally broke down and ordered them from Stephen. Good communications and fast shipping.

If you get them, Stephen has the hood + cap option (VC cap at extra $20 I believe) ... but any generic 58mm snap on cap (five bucks at your local camera store) will fit the mouth of the hood.

I love my canon lenses, but I will forever curse Canon for its singularly stupid decision to make a 40mm filter thread :bang:

cheers
 
Yeah, but 39mm and 40.5mm are easy to find. Series 5.5 for the CL lenses... now that's another mistake.
