Couldn't resist it but what now?

[Dralowid]

I bought this little lot of Ebay about three years ago because it seemed like a 'good idea'...

What on earth was I thinking, what am I going to do with them now that I am cutting back my collection?

Much of the attraction of the object is in the packaging, after all, 10 unused 42mm lens hoods in their original packaging are not really needed every day are they?

Anyone got an FSU Museum?!

That is GAS of the highest order.

What lens are they for?

 

[Sparrow]

... there's only a couple of years supply of lost hoods for me ... I tend to walk off and leave them in cafes

That is GAS of the highest order.

What lens are they for?

They push-on the Jupiter-3/8 and the Industar 26M/I61

they could make good prizes in FSU photo competitions...

If they are really for the J8 I'd like one

 

[Dralowid]

That is GAS of the highest order.

What lens are they for?

Anything 42mm which doesn't rotate...

Well, for example, I need one for my beloved Jupiter 8

I would love one, too.
Post 'em in the classifieds and you'll solve the problem...
Thanks!

These are nice lens shades, the problem is that they are held on by friction on the 40.5 lens filter.
Solution! cement it to a filter ring without a filter.

These I am sure would go quickly!!

The push on and fall off with equal ease

Yes they do-especially when they have been used a few times.

I believe they vignette slightly with Jupiters at full aperture but are perfect for Industars.
