Wow! Thanks, Bipin. Too late for this lens. At least this time. Next time—should there be one, God forbid—I’ll give it a try. And maybe with other lenses for which I don’t have hoods. The instructions say to print to “strong card.” You mention thin plasticized foam. Not familiar with it. Would it be available in a copy shop? And doesn’t printing on black stock make cutting out the hood difficult?
