There is literally no reason you could possibly have for 'much prefering the older style'. The old kind are garbage, center pinch are much better. 7D l Canon 70-200 f/4L IS l Canon 85mm f/1.8 l ∑ 17-50 f/2.8 l Canon 50mm f/1.8 II l S95

Or from eBay at about a buck each! I replaced all of my Canon side pinch caps with center-pinch Chinese knockoffs about two years ago. They are working just fine and even have the Canon logo on the front. See my images at http://rpcrowe.smugmug.com/

I don't use a hood so I find the "old style" much easier to attach/remove. A simple comparison of sensor technology: Nikon vs. Canon

Notice something in this picture from Canon Rumors?  You can still use them the old way, there your argument is silly. Also not using hoods is silly. 7D l Canon 70-200 f/4L IS l Canon 85mm f/1.8 l ∑ 17-50 f/2.8 l Canon 50mm f/1.8 II l S95

Hell, on the 18-250, I can have the hood on and still reach in and put the lens cap on, or take it off. Fray: a usually disorderly or protracted fight, struggle, or dispute
