Hoods: Why aren't them all like the one for the DA21?

I like to use hoods as protection for the front element as well since I don't like filters, and for this purpose reducers are perfect.

Only a slight bit on the FA 50, not at all on the 100.
On the 50 it becomes more like 1.7 and actually makes it seem sharper wide open like folks say the 1.7 is.
There is thread somewhere that folks discussed this at length if you want to search for it.

Found a thread. I think user @soldbear was the inspiration. Looks also like on 50mm the effective aperture becomes 1.8.

On recommendation of others on the forum for a couple of my lenses, the DFA100wr and FA50 1.4, I have switched to using a 49 - 28mm filter reducer as a hood.

Works great and is very compact.
