To WS and the group,
I have used the same bellows type lens shade on the medium to long lenses of my four camera formats. The shade was marketed by both Ambico and Spiratone and named "the Shade +". Both companies are long gone now, but this type lens shade would be a good solution for you.

Buy a spare original hood and cut it down to the size you want, or cut down one of the rubber ones. And I suppose we could argue that technically, the hood doesn't change the working distance, it just fills part of it. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of W S > Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 12:37 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: EOS Substitute lens hoods for 180 macro > > I know that specific lens hoods are customized for each lens, > but I was wondering if anyone knew if some hoods were interchangeable. > In particular, I would like a shorter hood for the 180 macro > lens.
