The first day I switched from a rubber hood to a metal hood, I was out walking through the forest.. I slipped down an embankment and put the camera lens first into the ground and some rocks. Glass was untouched. The rubber hood would've let the earth destroy the front element. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
