How about on pancakes, Marc? Blitz optics?
Blitz not Blintz.
They are so flat you can put your camera in your pocket and the glass to air
tends to be minute. Seems a shame to ruin it by doubling the size with a
lens hood.
Depending on the design of the lens hood.
Also on wide angle Lenes you wonder what they really do way off at the
edges. Especially on an ultra wide say a 24 or 21 or wider.
Seems like they cost a lot of money take up a lot of space but are they
really preventing veiled blacks or ghosts to any extent?
After all my experience I have some doubts.
I use them on my Leica glass. Kind of protects the lens itself.
I use a lens hood on my twin lens Rolleiflex for sure.
Not on my Rollei 35.
Not on certain nikon zooms when I've got the thing all day in a bag.
I sure did on my Zeiss Contarex with a 50 Sonnar F2 macro with the lens
shame at 36x24 ratio.
Now THAT is one well designed lens hood!
