You must have given it quite a whack to break it Did you get attacked by a wasp or something
I didnt do anything to it, infact the lens wasnt even used.
I just took it out of the rucksack (which was never taken out of the car) this morning and there it was .. snapped.
the plastic tab was out as well, I reckon that probably weakens the hood considerably if it was out before the break.

Went out yesterday with the camera and a couple of lenses, one being the DA 16-45mm.
Anyway, somehow the hood on the 16-45mm got cracked all the way through.
I have glued it together and its fine but things like that drive me crazy so does anyone know where I can get a original replacement hood for it.

Thanks

I normally do like picturs with selective colour and I have to say this one works well.
Nicely done.

It's quality all metal construction, what more could you want.
An extra 50mm would be nice.
Torn between one of these and waiting for the Sigma 150mm.

Don't they shoot them all in the Spring, like the Italians?

Probably, and then make them into some stew or something.
After all, they go out picking snails off the plants after rain and chuck those all into Paella.
May as well make use of those local resources I suppose

They obviously have no recipe for red squirrel yet though.

Personally if I was changing purely for macro reasons I would have to go with Canon.
I would give my back teeth for their MP-e 65 lens in Pentax mount.

5:1 magnification ... mmmmmmm.

I quite like these, especially number 3.
They have a old postcard/poster type look to them, I presume they have had more done than just normal processing?

I don't know if it's the same there but I have noticed a distinct lack of bird life in the forest opposite us where I take the dog.
It covers many square kilometers but there are hardly and birds there at all.

Most strange.
