It is vastly superior to the rubber hood, the designer of which should have been sacked on the spot and sent to work for Petri, Miranda or Chinon, where he could have had the career he deserved. I'm assuming you're talking about the Tele-Elmarit-M 90 (the so-called "Thin" Tele-Elmarit as opposed to the earlier "Fat" Tele-Elmarit) and not one of the Elmarit 90's- some people call the latter a Tele-Elmarit for some reason. Hmmmm; I'm getting to be slightly acidic these days. Still, I'm 47, it's a funny age. Joe Berenbaum
