That's a used lens-hood with a dent in it, plus $50 postage ...... however, carbon fiber .... flocked .... weighing 435 gms ..... nicely made aluminium flange and rectangular locking screw and rubber bump guard .......
....... they're $500 new or more !!
....... hence, I made mine ...... cost €10 resin + €9 cake tin + spray varnish €7 plus a flap sanding wheel €14 sand paper ........ 5 euros aluminium rectangular tube ........ all in 50 euros and a pint of blood sweat and tears .........
