I could always sell to MPB but then I’m taking a big loss since they’re paying wholesale prices so that they can flip the gear for profit. There’s eBay, but their fees are hefty. Any ot…

So I have a question about lens hoods on a couple of specific lenses. Do you think I need one on the RF 16 mm F2.8, or the RF 50 mm F1.8? The lenses are the same size, as I’m sure you know. I’m not asking about hoods on other lenses, I have them on my telephotos. Just these, thanks in advance. submitted by /u/EvilPersian
