or.. what's the real purpose of using hood?

The hood is to help protect your lens from damage and from flare. Damage as in your cam falls lens first into the ground in which your lens have a higher chance of survival. Flare as in shooting almost directly into the sun that can cause bright spots in your pics. Hope that answers you.
yes.. thanks.
useful link too.
it says hoods are expensive.. i wonder how much? any recommended hood for 50mm f1.8 and the D80 18-135mm kit lens?

err.. really?The 18-135 comes with a hood..
what you mean by "reverse the hood"?yes. even if it's late night just reverse the hood to protect your lens. you may never know someone would be running and hit your lens.
i.e. reverse on your lens, opposite from 'petals' facing outwards.what you mean by "reverse the hood"?
i suppose 'should' still use hood even with CPL attached?

does that mean you are mounting it that way? in that case why even bother to put on a hood? since its only covering the lens barrel and not stray light. :sweat:ok.. dont quite understand. i thot that's how the hood should be mounted, ie opposite from petals facing outwards.
so wat's the diff with "reverse the hood"?
