These are very nice. I use them quite a bit. If you have several cameras
and enjoy macro, the best buy is their studio ensemble, which includes
three holders and a base they attach to. They come with reflectors, which
are very handy for accidentally bouncing light INTO your lens, too!
If you're on a tripod shooting wide into the sun, you simply bend the
sucker until the lens is in the shade. They are more precise, and can shade
the lens in situations that wouldn't work with a regular shade. I have even
put a quarter on the end to block a sun that is actually in the picture,
then went back and Photoshopped the blue sky over it.
The also supply a set of vingettes, or you can use them for holding props
or macro items, etc. Great invention -- I'd thought of something similar
long ago, but didn't have the time to implement.
