Subject: Re: [Leica] Lens Hood for Elmarit 90mm

Hey Shel,

Take a piece of gaffer tape and stick it on the pull-out hood.
When you extend the hood, pull the tape off and apply it over the 
hood/lens barrel junction. It'll stay out until you take the tape off. 
The tape won't hurt the finish at all. And you'll look "ohhh sooo pro" 
with gnarly black tape on your gear. ; >)
"Permacell Professional Grade Gaffer Tape" Bogen distributes it, good 
photo stores stock it, seems like Leica prices it - its great stuff.

Henry
