Today I received a new flower lens hood. What I am wondering is should the long petals of the hood be vertical and the smaller ones horizonal or does it make a difference as long as it keeps out the light bouncing on the inside of the lens? It has a small white trangle on one of the smaller petals and does this mean it should be on top? There were no instructions and it came from Hong Kong in about a week. I thought it would be less obstructive than the round rubber hood but it seems the same. I also put a 48to49 expanding filter ring so the hood would fit on my Canon 50/1.4.
