a reconsideration of lens hoods

[epatsellis]

[QUOTE=F8&Bthere;28932And a few of my lenses also have built in telescopic hoods which is really cool. The worst is my Nikon 85/1.8 which comes with a solid metal, not-petal type, THREADED hood. That one drives me nuts as there's almost nowhere I can put it without it potentially scratching the lens (body, not glass) when it's in my bag. Talk about clunky.[/QUOTE]

All of the metal Nikkor lens hoods I have can be reversed on the lens and clipped into the front threads.

Not this one, unfortunately, it actually threads into the filter threads so when reversed there is nothing on the hood or the lens that can grab it or hold it in place.
