In some circumstances, I'd be happy to use a (rigid) lens hood instead
of a filter for protection, particularly for long-focal-length lenses
where the hood would be long enough to provide a fair protective zone.

However, all of the non-original-equipment lens hoods I have are the
folding rubber type, since that is all I could find.  Anyone know of
a source of good metal lens hoods which screw into filter threads?
