Nice camera handling during your fall. Shows what you value most. <G>
Too bad, Paul, but 60-250 hood can't be that expensive , hopefully!

15 months ago I tapped the lens hood of my 60-250 on my car door as I
was returning from some shooting. The hood came off, rolled away a
bit. I retrieved it. Upon arrival back home inspection revealed
several parts of the hood's locking keyways were broken or bent. Spent
an evening repairing those only to discover the pot-metal lands for
the mechanism were broken or bent. A whole morning was spent finding
the missing land in the driveway and epoxying it perfectly in place.
The hood lasted about 3 days. No more places to put superglue to make
it work again.
So I ordered two from B&H @ 44.95 each. Plus shipping. Still the same
price. 2 to 4 weeks to ship - out of stock.
Have not damaged one since. Well, except the 12-24 hood 3 years ago.
Same obnoxious price.

Stepped in a hole and lost my footing while shooting the dream
cruise for the Times. Skinned knee and elbow along with a sprained
wrist. But held my camera aloft. Slight damage to the hood of my
60-250/4, but that's it. Finished the shoot. Plenty of good pics and
one newsworthy one. I'm happy but sore.
