When I see paper cups I always think to myself: if I cut out the bottom it would probably slip on so and so lens and make a good hood..leemikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973904442574060401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-70477211299994622752016-03-03T22:52:53.278-05:002016-03-03T22:52:53.278-05:00my approach to lens hood-dom is a bit more invasiv...my approach to lens hood-dom is a bit more invasive and maybe frowned upon: I use epoxy glue. While not 100% permanent (a really hot hair drier/heat gun will make the glue soft enough for removal) the epoxy bonds really well to metal or plastic surface. I find the closest step-up ring that will fit near enough around the lens' barrel and then Dremel out the correct diameter to slip it on. Add a few drops of glue and I have a thread at the end of my projection lens that will now take a standard lens hood. gnarlydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783031534973509076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-11085020860067882372016-03-01T23:24:21.063-05:002016-03-01T23:24:21.063-05:00Glad to be of assistance to a fellow addict :-)

Well, no filter thread and no fitting hood between my 253 [figuratively speaking, could be more, or less] hoods :-( What to do?<br /><br />Well, I'll tell you, but don't tell anybody else: I cut a fake leather lens case from an old GDR lens (don't remember which) into the perfect form and taped it to the LOMO with ...<br /><br />...you guessed it: photographer's best friend, gaffer tape. So after all those sleepless nights with a LOMO w/o hood I could finally sleep again :-)))<br /><br />Works perfect, btw!<br /><br />Keep on rocking, my friend - of course with a hood :-)mikehttp://mkvip.model-kartei.de/noreply@blogger.com
