Hey NT73:
Great photos of the construction.
I find this idea kind of intriguing because I hate to carry around lens hoods. They are bulky and always in the way when not in use. I like the idea of not having to carry multiple large hoods around but still having a suitable alternative with me if I need one. I realize that these will not *protect* lenses - but I usually only use hoods for sun flare anyway.
However, if the things glue together, I don't see the advantage - the foam hoods will be just as bulky. So here's my question: Any chance that one of these could be fitted with snaps or some other fastener that would allow it to be carried totally flat and *snap* together for usage?
