Knock the glass out and solder/glue/attach somehow a more compact lens hood (er, picture funnel) to the filter ring. The choice is yours, a rubber folding one, a vented aerodynamic one or a tunnel one, plenty to choose from in the rummage boxes at photo dealers...

I am using a barn door type at present, but find it rather large and heavy, but there is no filter thread on my lens, so I can't use a conventional hood. Fred Dickinson
