DIY - Lens Hoods in a Hurry

Postby radar on Mon Jun 19, 2006 6:37 pm

Hi,

along the lines of big pix's "DIY Backgrounds", I also found a link on that site for DIY lens hoods. They have a PDF cutout of heaps of lens hoods. Just print and cut.

Tried the one for the 50mm/1.4, works a treat. Sure it isn't sturdy but if you don't have one and happen to need one ASAP, just go to this site and print one out for yourself. You should print it on sturdy paper stock and that should make it last longer.

Cheers,

André

That's okay, I expected it :lol: :lol:

Just thought it could keep the kids happy when on the way to a photo shoot, they could colour them in, etc, etc, :wink: :wink:

You need to print them on 120gsm papers in order to hold up still, else they get folded right out from the cuts...
