I bought an ND filter and step-up rings so that the filter could be used on all of my lenses. The problem is that I can’t use a step-up ring and the hood of the lens. There doesn’t seem to be any such thing as a universal hood but I am trying to find a make-shift solution that would act as a universal hood. I have tried the Flex shade but don’t find it satisfactory for this purpose.
I could use my hat to block some of the light but I wonder if there is some way I could get the same blocking quality as my hoods provide - something that goes around the lens. So, I wondered whether anyone used something other than their hoods to block unwanted light.
Thank you
