I've always been wondering this.... but why do photographers seem to tape their big lens' hoods so much?

No one knows?

I would never put duct tape on my beautiful lenses. ;-)a

Maybe its a hotfix cheapo way for them to hold their worn out loosened hoods on with. Who knows....

I don't recall ever seeing tape used on anything. I watch a lot of C-span, and there are always huge numbers of professional photographers at senate hearings and other meets, and you can see them and their gear. No one there does that.

I do see people putting camo sleezes on their lenses and then stand right out in the open to shoot birds. But that's not tape and protects the lens barrel.

I think the few that do tape, and these look more like product stickers than tape, do it for the same reason people put bumper stickers on their cars.
