It makes it much easier to carry multiple bodies and lenses. A 24/2.8A or a 35/1.4A sans shade is significantly more compact than with the shades in place. A 35/1.4A without its hood is as pocketable as a 35/2. John Collier On Dec 10, 2003, at 9:37 AM, Steven Blutter wrote: > What would the profit be in not using a shade?
