Are you serious? If that's what they're going for, then, I'll be taking a
whole lot better care of mine!
I've got a Celestron 1250mm f/10 lens, and I made a hood for it out of a piece
of stove pipe. It's butt-ugly, but it works just fine. Go to your friendly
neighborhood hardware store and check out the various sizes of stove pipe.
And now, having grown up with a grandfather in the hardware business, a
hardware/stove pipe story:
Man goes into a hardware store and asks for half a piece of stove pipe.
Sam, the counter man, goes to the back of the store, where Virgil, the
handyman, cuts and sharpens and fixes stuff. Not realizing the customer has
followed him, Sam says to Virgil, "There's some dumb son of a bitch up front
who wants a half piece of stove pipe."
Then, suddenly becoming aware that the customer has followed him to the back
and is standing just behind him, he continues, without barely a pause, "And
this gentleman here would like the other half."
