Lens-Hoods.

Post by Keith Tapscott » Fri Nov 26, 2010 12:05 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I want to buy a lens hood for my 240mm Nikkor-W, but not sure what or where to buy.
Any suggestions? It takes 82mm filters if that's any help. :?:

Hi Keith, as I said in the US forum, Lee produce lens hoods and, as a dealer, I can provide them at a discounted price (-15% from the RRP), if that helps.

Thanks Joanna, I replied on the USA forum. I was just looking at one of these on fee-bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/82mm-Universal-Ru ... 5638ea6cc0

However, as I am awaiting the arrival of a new 4x5 Camera to be delivered soon, I will seriously consider a Lee-Filter holder with lens-hood.
The 240mm is for 8x10, but I will be using a 90mm f/8 Super-Angulon and a 180mm Symmar-S for the 4x5. (Both take a 67mm filter thread)

As I don't know much about the Lee system, what would be a good choice?

I see there are the universal, standard, slotted and wide-angle lens hoods available from Lee Filters, which is why I wanted advice for which one to choose.
May be one of those will be suitable for all three lenses.
