On the flip side:

The 70-200 II hood is very annoying with a circular polariser... I suspect the earlier ones were worse.

Also some of the hoods make the lenses look less inconspicuous...

Re: Lens hoods

I never use a lens without a hood.

I look at if the sun is out and then where it is if there is a reason to prefer not to use one.

Re: Lens hoods

Well I have mine on all the time as well; but you certainly wouldn't describe me as 'cool & professional' - you've seen the rear-end...

Does it only work with those big white things? Or, will getting a hat help?

The rear end looked quite posh with the decent pair of shorts. I wish others dressed as well as you do!

Well done Deva, you are getting into the swing of things. Yes, I prefer to buy Canon hoods for my canon lenses.
