Cheap US source of lens hoods, etc.

I just saw this link on another forum:
http://www.activeindustries.com/catalogue/accessories/lens_hood.htm.

Cheap generic lens hoods, eyepiece adapters, lens caps, filters, adapter rings, etc.
Wish we had something like that in Europe... This way the postage would probably be too expensive.
Some useful and cheap stuff there!

Sheesh, Joe, I just assumed those guys are in the US of A... 🙂
Anyway, regardless of where they are, I avoid buying from companies/businesses, at least until our Customs regulations are changed. Any shipment I receive on my end which comes from a company, with an invoice, etc., gets me an extra $30 cost for the shipping agent, who must fill out the necessary forms, etc, and then another 22% tax on the combined price of item value AND the shipping cost 🙁

In short, I buy only from individuals - the package gets delivered to my door with no extra charges, provided it's declared as $50 max value.....

Still, for you guys in USA and elsewhere, this is really a cheap source of small hard to get parts...

I've purchased some back lens caps from him that were quite serviceable and moderately priced. He is located in the US though.

That particular company that you lised, imports the "Sonia" brand lens hoods, made in India. They are very good. I've dealt with the ownder of Sonia, on a couple of occasions. Nice guy, that puts out a good product.
