Use a tripod and take first a frame with the hodd, then another without the hood. Bounce back and forth. Turn around and shoot towards the sun, witht he sun at 45 degrees to yout image and again at 30 and 60 degrees. Use either Slide film or B+W. View the images on a light table ( or glass window with sunlight from the outside).....Check the amount of change in the contrast of the scene....If you wish, print the B+W images and look at the prints.... The hood will cut down on spurious light bouncing into your lens and flare from the sun and sky onto your glass elements. You decide if you like what you will get.
