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
