If? Unlike filters, the need for lens hoods is absolute. You get better
performance with a hood. And on my 35 Summilux ASPH, I don't find it
intrusive all that much. But the little rubber cap drives me nuts. That
little $30 jobbie falls off at the least provocation. I'm working on a way
to keep it attached in any condition, so I can carry the lens in my fanny
pack without worrying that the cap will fall off and a roll of film will be
bouncing against my front element.
