where did you buy them at?

Yeah... looks like 3M Di-Noc CA421 Black Carbon Fiber... I just applied it on my lens hood and looks very nice. Easy to apply as it stretches with heat and adapts to curved forms...

I found this page

Hope it helps

These guys will do overlays or make a complete CF hood.

Those look like they are real carbon fiber, im sure they just made a mold of an original hood and then made it of fiberglass with carbon overlay.

Yeah it kinda looks like a real CF wrap. Easy enough to have it wrapped and clear coated.

definately looks like real carbon fiber. easy enough to make a mold out of and clear coat. kinda like someone said already.

Man those carbon fiber hoods help the flare

But why on earth would you spend money on carbon fibre looking lens hoods? I can´t see any good reason for doing this. Sorry about being a downer, but pimping a lens hood is just way beyond me.

It looks cool and current. I really don`t mind doing it on my L lens or the 85 1.8 hoods.

This CF hood will have different appeal on older stiff photographers. For cool and young one`s it`s great!

Now we all know by their comments who is who? LOL!

BTW: I`m talking about d.allan carbon fiber type he has, I like it very much. But the OP sample picture of the carbon fiber is a bit shiny for my taste.

I googled "JDP lens hoods" and came up with a link to the company that makes carbon-fiber car hoods. Apparently this company provided these for the photog too?

If you thought Canon lens hoods were too expensive....

I don't really like the carbon fiber look, its either the real thing or none at all for me. Wonder how much the Infinity Carbon guys would charge to do a one off hood? I bet it will cost at least a couple hundred for one?

Take Care,

I wrote an email to JDP Engineering and asked them how much it would cost to make a carbon fiber lens hood like the one shown on Flickr. We will see what kind of price we are looking at. If its around a $100.00-$150.00 I may get a few for my lenses. http://www.flickriver.​com/photos/d_almero/43​20198848/

I love CF. Must be a car guy thing.
