that the length and shape changes as you zoom :-)

Tamron made an ingenious rigid-plastic telescoping hood for its SP
70-210/3.5. The lens receded as you zoomed to a smaller focal length. Tamron
may have used this mechanism on the hoods of some of its other zooms, as
well.

I have found that when I use a zoom rubber hood, I invariably forget to
change the setting as I zoom.

Any photo? Is it common on eBay? Was it for 62mm or 67mm? (I have a rubber one for the 67mm lens.)à
