Download a lens hood

At this site you can download a PDF pattern for a lens hood for many lenses for commonly used cameras. They will not protect the lens, but transfer the pattern to heavy black paper and it will serve to block unwanted light.

If I did not have a hood for each of the lenses in my bag I would.
