I made a makeshift lens hood for my 400mm telephoto lens this weekend. The lens has a built in hood, but it isn't very long. I used corrugated cardboard with the corrugations running parallel to the line of sight. Other than being well cardboard, it worked really well.
I want a more permanent solution. That doesn't look so ugly. I am thinking about getting a piece of camouflage neoprene(this way I can make matching covers, and maybe reinforcing it a little bit. I am stuck on what to reinforce it with, other than basically just using cardboard itself. The card board was nice, because it would roll up
I made one using black craft foam which rolled up nicely but was really a bit small for the mirror lens I made it for, and then the velcro came unstuck...
perhaps I'll have another go sometime.
foam is good idea, maybe it needs to be cloth backed for sewing:
