Bump!
A few years ago I bought a big ol' metal 300mm lens which came with a matching, metal screw on hood. After having struggled to mount filters onto my DA 18-55's plastic filter threads, this 300mm and its hood were a revelation
:
No muss, no fuss. The hood spun right on. And on and on and on!
It takes five and a half revolutions around that long, lovely 77mm filter thread before the hood is seated.
Mechanical precision and the singing of metal on metal make mounting this hood a delight.
