Without evidence to support it, I would challenge that statement. There are third party manufacturers making lens hoods that seem to be just as good as those being sold with the Genuine (insert lens maker here) logo on them. It's a piece of plastic in the correct shape (circular or flower petal, depending on the lens), of the same thickness, sturdiness and fit to the lens - but a WHOLE LOT cheaper because you don't have to pay that premium for the brand name logo.The best hood is always the one that came with/is available for (by the lens maker) that lens....Also, how large a hood do you use? I am going to start shooting without a filter, maybe that is why one of lens tends to be soft. Thanks for sharing
For all we know, they're all manufactured in the same plant, then stamped with different logos.
