Print Your Lens Hoods!

Yes, that’s right! No more lugging around that infernal piece of plastic that always sticks out like a sore thumb in your backpack. Presenting lenshoods.net – these guys offer a variety of printable lens hoods. Download the PDF file, print, cut and slap it on! 

I have made three of them so far, all of them for the Pentax 18-55 kit lens and they work like a charm. About the only thing you need to make sure is that the paper you use is of sufficient thickness – normal pieces of A4 won’t do. I went down to my local stationary shop and picked up dark grey card paper.
