Amen! I use a hood and a UV filter on all my lenses (I shoot mostly
outdoors in very dusty environments), and it is VERY annoying to
either have to constantly mount and unmount a hood (24 and 28) in
order to get at the lenscap, or squeeze my fingers into a hood(like
the 50mm rubber hood) toget at the lens cap. I'd love to find some
tupperware type lens caps that would fit the ends of my hoods on the
50,24,and 28.
