No. I told what "will be" my favourite hood. I have no such hood. As I said
in my post I have nor the tools nor the materials to build the hoods I
would like.
The hoods I made are made of cardboard or plastic. The shape of the petals
is calculated using Excel.
I don't think that my hoods are build better that the Canon ones, in fact,
I know they are worse, but some hoods I made are more effective than them.
They are more bulky, off course, as the effectiveness depends on the hood
size if it's well designed.
