Big BAG in the mail:  In it the LONG awaited goodies:  Lens caps, METAL Lens hoods, Straps. All Chinese, but high quality ( well, high enough for me. Very sturdy hoods. ) I for once spoiled myself with these goodies, Why? Well, bc this is making me FEEL much better about my gear. The look and feel is much better now. And Oh Boy does that help in the pleasure I have in using my gear. These metal hoods are so much nicer that these bulky rubber non-fitting lenshoods.. Bleeeehhhhhh. :-)  What a Joy :-) Ooooh I should have done this years ago. Also, A rangefinder camera with a vented hood looks so nice :-) Camera porn indeed hahaaa.... |

Nice tts,
That is a bargain at $15 for the lot! You can certainly get great value in lens hoods from Chinese suppliers - and they can be of really good quality. Enjoy!

Actually I paid 3x that amount. Still cheap though.
These sellers just put lower amounts on the bags as a service to their customers.
I hope you all will recognise the joy of gear which look good and feels much nicer...
It makes the total experience of taking pictures more enjoyable, I believe.

Quite right - anything that make taking piccies more fun and enjoyable is a good idea. |

Hard to find a lot of OEM hoods, and sometimes they are more expensive than the camera or lens! I'm glad you'll be enjoying your equipment at a higher level now.

It's important in regard to the energy involved with the whole process of photography, as a matter of fact.
Anything that adds to the positive energy is contributing to the end result and the experience as a whole.
( Just my 2 cents )
So (little) money WELL spend, in my humble opinion. :-)
It all has to be A POINT... To use some French.
