I'd rather have a hood that's hard to get on and off than one that's 
easily to remove and falls of at the slightest knock.
About the plastic, well yes I do argee with you. But on the other hand I
don't think it's possible to make a metal lenshood in Leica's
rectangular shape and still keep the price reasonable.
