I got a NexGen in a Jackson hood, which is a little less than acceptable. The Jackson hood won't hold up the weight, and falls down a lot. I have heard it mentioned here many times that a Huntsman 951P is the hood to put the NexGen lens into. So, today, while making a trip to the dump, I passed the welding supply store, and went in to purchase one. The tekkie/geek told me that the NexGen would not fit in there. I had mentioned that people had told me they would. He suggested that I bring the lens in and make sure.
This is a ways out of my way. I will take the lens next time, just to make sure the thing fits. Anyone have hands on experience with these hoods and lenses? Is this tekkie/geek right or wrong?
