Ive managed to lose the little plate that covers the polarizer hole in my 16-50 lens hood. Does anyone have one ? or know if they can be purchased with out the hood
Thanks.

I wouldn't bother, probably cost you as much as a new hood and its not going to do any harm unless you have the hood on upside down with the hole at the top.

I lost mine off my 18-35 a long time ago, it was irritating at the time but I never missed it since, PS if anyone finds one of these in Prague its mine

I lost this bit from one of my hoods, black insulating tape works just as well!

Nowadays I seldom use a hood, lens flare can be attractive in some shots and removed in PS.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

PPG entries.

I thought hoods had become the item of choice for protecting your lens now that filters are out... [ducks and runs for cover...]

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
