Maybe they only use them while actually shooting towards the sun...the whole stadium can already provide a good protection against stray light.applecider said:I notice that none of the photographers are using hoods with their big lenses. My use case is that the hood stays on all the time the lenses are out and about. Seems as protective as can be. The only time the lens see the soft lens cap is when packed for travel.
Is this a space or handling issue? Curious as to what others here do, and why these event shooters are not hooded.
Those white hoods are also mad expensive!
I can't find any weight specifications for those - maybe it's also somewhat weight related, or to quickly change lenses. I can also see that the longer lens is also more bulky, it's easier to quickly move a short lens.
