Lost another Nikon 70-200mm lens hood

1 year 3 months ago #747057 by Toby J
I've now lost 3 of these over the last four years or so.  It happens when I'm walking around with the camera on my Holdfast Gear Moneymaker solo strap hanging on my side.  I'm guessing it bounces off my body and twists the hood off?  Got me on how exactly this is happening, but I've now lost 3 of these things.  Aside from just not taking your lens hood with you, how are you keeping these things in your possession and not falling off your camera?

Look for a more sensible way to carry your camera so it's not bouncing off your body when you're walking around with the hood on the lens.

I keep mine in a plastic baggy in my pocket when I'm out and about.

   I lost one when I placed my camera outside of a helicopter window. It is now floating around somewhere in the Pacific ocean. Luckily, the cheap knock-offs are every bit as good as the OEM hoods.
