    What is the purpose of a Lens Hood?

    New Inexpensive Lightbox

    You may wish to take note, the black bag's color will run and will cause some staining on the tent when it comes in touch with liquid. Other than that, it's a pretty good buy. :)

    Last Night of Lantern Festival '08

    Nikon Camera Products Extension of Warranty *Limited Period*
