Oh, I do seem to recall you have posted this before. I was not at the time 
imagining I might want one. :-)

With many fewer $ already committed to a solution, I'll see how that works

That it does not vignette on the 14 mm, would seem to me to indicate that it is 
a little wide for the 20 mm. Doesn't 
mean much, as all the other hoods say much the same thing, as though it is a 
good thing. And one can't do the old rear 
projection test, to see how tight the coverage is.

Thanks for the link.
