Lens Hoods: Free!

From Great Britain (where else?) comes this website which provides easy-to-use PDF plans or templates of most lens hoods manufactured. These PDFs can be downloaded, and the templates printed, then cut/trimmed into a paper, card (or thin plastic) lens hood which you need. All the instructions are legible and easy to understand.

The advantages of these hoods are that they're disposable, replaceable, easy to pack and free. How they handle rain and wind is another matter.

If anyone is tempted to make and test one, I'd be interested to know if it works.
