Quirky but rewarding lens

Re: Quirky but rewarding lens

I'm fond of the 60mm too and I like the fact that without it's ridiculously hood it is compact. Having a fairly deepset front element (when not in macro) I'm sure it doesn't need a hood in most cases but what I've done is fit cheap circular metal hoods to my 35mm lens (same as 18mm hood) and to my 14mm lens (same as 18-55mm hood) and fit the rectangular hood from my 35mm to my 60mm. This keeps everything compact whilst protecting the front element from flare and physical damage (non protective filter user).
