Priced high? It's a bargain compared to the LH-55B in New Zealand which retails at about US$80.00. Even in Australia I see it listed at US$65.00-$75.00. Maybe they're charging double because it fits two lenses (12-50 and 9-18).

If you want the LH-55B hood made from plastic instead of solid gold then try this mob in Queensland. I got that today along with a few other hoods and a Nikon adapter within 24 hours of ordering delivered to Sydney via Australia Post. NZ may be different, email them to find out.

I should have mentioned - in the end I was unwilling to support a product at this level of over pricing.  I did indeed go with a copy-hood.  I went with a uWinKa LH-55B copy for US$8.60 from http://www.ebay.com/itm/260855044409

Gold might look nice though, a bit different than black or silver.

I don't think the 60 hood has been copied yet.
