(not last) Some random comments:
One advantage of soft rubber hoods is that you can roll back the edge for a
wider angle. Now if we only had rectangular soft rubber hoods....
The most important bunch of light to keep out is the sun, or other major
light source like a spotlight or the sky. Shooting from a shadow is better
than from a sunlit place.
I wonder what the formula is for the ideal distance for the opening of a
rectangular lens hood. I suppose the longest is best, but at what
proportion of focal length does it really start to help?

"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself --
