Ha.  I HATE these new tulip lens hoods.  I use a polarizing filter almost 
always, and with the darn lens hoods on you cannot rotate them.  I prefer a 
screw on lens hood that rotates the filter as you turn it.  but, with a zoom, 
they are almost ineffective since you can only use a very short hood.  As is 
the tulip hood - only good for widest angle.  Zoom lenses are a new thing for 
me.  Only in the past 3 years.  So, not shown in any of the photos, my hand or 
hat makes a very effective lens hood when the sun is hitting the lens.  I have 
been thinking of cutting a slit in the hood that will line up with the filter 
so maybe I could get my finger in there to rotate the filter, kind of like what 
I understand the lens hood for the Leica 24mm is like.  Never seen one, but 
from what I understand, you can rotate a polarizer through the hood.  If I 
modify a hood successfully, I'll show the group.

  Great composite photo.  I see that I am not up there.  I thought I was from 
long ago, but I guess not.  so, Steve, here are 3 pages of photos of me taken 
my by wife, Margie, since she got her camera.

  Steve.  Have your pick to post on the "some leica photographers" page.

Hi Aram!

Thanks for these... we've "spoken" many times, over many years...  and it's 
nice to finally be able to put a face to the name!

My picks (if I had the choice) would be 200802 or 200806 (which shows your 
face).

I really like 230969, which shows the proper use of a lens hood....   always 
good for an educator to set a good example!  ;-)

Cheers!
