In my experience (which is not on a copy stand) my lens gets really close to leaves and branches and things that would be in the way with a longer hood. But I'll have to grab the WR and take it for a spin to see how much I think it is really helping. I have never used a Macro lens with a hood - not ever. So I may be biased.

I own the F 100 Macro which does not use or need a hood and the D FA 100 Macro WR. The D FA solution is elegant and I think you are missing the point. The hood doesn't move in and out because if it did it would get in the way as you reach the high magnification ratios at close focus distances. The F 100 did not have a hood but had a deeply set front element when focused far away. Chances are you are not going to need the hood as much as you get into high magnification situations anyway. You can always shade the lens from farther out using your hand or a magazine or a leaf etc.

At 1:1 printed color on a box often resolves into dots.
