Aqua Tech SoftHood Collapsing Hood for 600mm f/4 & 400mm f/2.8 Lenses
The Aqua Tech SoftHood, being light and collapsible and very difficult to damage, is a practical alternative to the originally-supplied metal or carbon fiber hoods that you find with the enormous lenses for SLR cameras.
This particular model fits any 600mm f/4 and 400mm f/2.8 lens; it comes with a pair of compression straps to perfectly affix the SoftHood to the outer diameter of your lens barrel no matter the maker. SoftHood's faster to deploy than a 'reversed' normal hood since you just extend it from its collapsed state, and of course with a name like Aqua Tech it was designed with excellent water resistance in mind.
- Lighter than manufacturers' hoods
- Compresses when not in use, and does not need to be reversed
- Fits any 400mm f/2.8 or 600mm f/4 lens
- Resistant to moisture and abrasion

Comments about Aqua Tech SoftHood Collapsing Hood for 600mm f/4 & 400mm f/2.8 Lenses:
I have a non IS Canon 600mm lens. Well, the hood started to fall apart, specifically the parts needed to clamp/screw the hood to the lens.
If I wanted a new hood, I'd be looking at in the neighborhood of $600-$800. The parts themselves would cost me over $100 if I just went that route.
Then somebody pointed me to the Softhood.
WOW! Everything in the description about the hood is the truth. As soon as I got it, I layed it out flat, lined up the grooves on the hood with the rim of my lens, velcro and snap it...done! All in about the same time as it would've taken me to put my Canon hood on and screw it tight.
The length is close to the original hood, its strong enough to stand your lens/body on end and it folds away flat. Plus, I save a little in weight.
As far as the view, no obstruction at all.
My next purchase will be their lens cap.
Whatever size lens you have, you won't be sorry if you pick this for your next lens hood.
