Spurred by some of the suggestion on the list, I discovered that a
62mm lens cap perfectly fits the metal hood for 50/1.4, 50/1.8 and
35/2.8. 

However, my metal lenshood has been in my junk pile since I noticed
wear and scratches in the very back of the inside of the hood (likely
caused by struggling to get a lens cap on and off without removing
the hood). Should I be worried about reflections from these scratches
causing flare? Should I find some flat black matte paint to cover
them? Or should I ignore them as being far less of a problem than not
having the hood?
