I immediately substituted a 12575 hood for the rubber one that came with it. I used a UV filter at first but quickly stopped doing that! I liked the size but the flaring drove me nuts. The person I sold it to, with a complete explanation of the problem and right of return, has been very happy with it. I guess it must be the light up here.
