Hi Julian,

Thanks for the pointers. I alredy placed the order.

>protection of the front element? Or for flare?

I use the banned UV-filter for "protection".  I got several frames with
reduced contrast due to flare. I was shooting backlight, but at an angle
trying to stop the "unnusable" light with my hand. As I can't have a
bigger hand I think I beter buy the hood.

Here at home I had been using a long piece of black cardboad for that
purpose, but I couldn't take that in the plane  :-)  ;-)  (big piece of
70x120cm)  I expect the hood to be a bit more handy... LOL :-)

Greetings,

Gerard.
