Shooting with the hood in place is the best way to check for
vignetting. Shoot a solid white surface with the lens at its smallest
stop. If you don't see any corner darkeness in the image, it's not
vignetting.

Nothing wrong with rubber. But most rubber hoods are too short and too

Hmmm. That's probably why the rubber hood is fine on my 50mm. Short
lens,
short hood.
Is there anyway to tell how long a hood should be? Without vignetting?
I have
a hood (non-rubber) for a longer lens that might work on a slightly
shorter
lens. Is there some kind of mathematical formula? Or is the only way
to tell to
take some shots?
