[QUOTE="bobmielke, post: 46566, member: 8952"] I use them on every lens I own. The tulip variety can be tricky to get on right but still add protection and shade from glare. With today's internally focusing lenses you get a more predictable outcome. I still find it a pain when using a circular polarizer as I must remove the tulip hood, adjust the polarizer for the effect I want and then reinstall the lens shade. In olden day a lens hood screwed onto the outermost filter and you simply adjusted the polarizer by turning the lens hood. I'm old school so I still buy metal screw-in lens caps that don't fall off. :) [/QUOTE]
