If you're still looking for that perfect lens hood for your camera, maybe the reason why you still haven't got one is that the one you probably wanted to have is a bit too expensive. But you can always make a camera hood yourself, and it would only cost you a small amount (if any at all).

In this case, since the plastic bottle isn't the same size as a typical Russky lens, the cut has to be slightly concave to make the fit perfect. When you're faced with the same problem, you make sure to cut the material properly for a perfect fit.


After opening the neck hole, try to fit the homemade camera hood and see if it fits well. You should then paint it flat or matt black to make it look like the standard camera hood.


These are really easy steps if you want an inexpensive lens hood for your camera that works.
