But maybe I just have fat fingers. (No such problem operating the focusing ring, by the way, as that lies farther back on the lens barrel, and in any case, it sports a handy focusing tab.)

It works very effectively with all of these lenses. I prefer it to the later style rectangular plastic #12524 and #12526 lens shades." Thanks for the info; I'll check it out.
