Lens hood annoyance.

First:  I know there are cheaper off brand options available.  I don’t care.

Second:  I understand there are supplier issues for tech items and a global pandemic a chip shortage and blah blah blah.

But there aren’t any computer chips in a lens hood.  It’s basic plastic injection molding, a spring, and maybe another small metal part.  Canon can make imitation lens hood ash trays and bowls and such.  Make some darn lens hoods already!   Low cost.  High profit.  Machines should be able to crank out hundreds of these an hour.  Plenty of suckers like me willing to part with a couple extra bucks for some OEM stuff.

End rant.
