I use the Hama rectangular on a 24mm f2.8. Works very well except for
on problem. If you have a filter on the lens it clamps onto the filter
rather than the lens barrel. That's OK except if the filter is a
polarizer, in which case you have to realign the hood every time you
rotate the filter a bit. (A minor problem for me since I can't recall
ever using a polarizer on the 24.)
Also, not sure how well such a hood would work on a zoom, which is where
tulips are most useful, I believe. Especially a zoom with a rotating
front.
