I must say, I am extremely happy with the outcome. They were all hand wrapped within a few hours. YMMV depending on how busy they are.  24-105  70-200  1D mkIV & 24-70  If anyone is interested, pls feel free to PM for details.

Oct 03, 2012 22:25 | #8 i understand it's not for everyone. to each his/her own. my hoods were pretty scratched up, so i figured to give it "makeover". R3 x3 | 1Dx mkIII | 1Dx mkII | RF 24-70mm | RF 24-240mm | RF 600mm | RF 70-200 | EF 16-35 | RF 100-500

So whatever floats your boat.  you must be pretty handy, cuz' stretching and getting the vinyl cut cleanly to the edges is pretty tricky. not to mention the curves of the 16-35 hood.
