I think with camera stuff, you get what you pay for!  THAT IS FOR SURE!  I bought a lens hood, off Ebay of course because I'm trying to save money.  It was a flower hood, and I decided to get that one because like everyone else, I saw what the professionals use and wanted to be just like them!  Well now that I have the hood, it's not the sweet kind that will just snap on and snap off.  Mine screws onto my filter, and not the lens.  Why?  I'm not sure, but I know if I put it on my lens directly I can't use the filter... So it's a win/loose battle.  Here is what the bad boy looks like..

Sweet huh?  Well it works at least... One problem I have is if I take a picture with the lens completely zoomed in.. (infinity) Part of the hood shows up!  Here is a picture I took to show you what I mean..

And I am like 95% (still an A) sure that it is because the hood isn't on my lens, and that the 1 centimeter that the filter moves it forward is the cause of that!  Hey maybe I'm totally wrong and that is normal.. But who knows!  I'm sure someone does.

PEACE!
