It's was £4.85 for a rubber collapsible 3 stage hood, a rubber collapsible petal lens hood and a centre pinch lens caps on a leash. For the price if it's rubbish I can either send it back or cut my loses and buy something else. I've had an email to say it's on its way so I shall let you know when it arrives. |

Free postage and the goods are normally here pretty quick too. As you say, if its junk no great loss, I can have a look for something better in the next few weeks. |

The products seem just fine, I've got the lens hood on without any problems and the polarising filter attached without any faffing about at all, no finger nails needed, thankfully. On the whole for less than £5 with free postage I'm very happy. |

(heard that before somewhere !!!) It cost me a fortune to learn to use filters, way back in the good old film days ... so you are a bit luckier than that in that all you can delete anything you are not happy with |
