Lens Hood Storage
Lens hoods that are supplied by the manufacturer of the lens are often designed to fit onto the matching lens facing either forward, for normal use, or backwards, so that the hood may be stored with the lens without occupying much additional space. Rubber lens hoods are flexible and generally collapse for storage.
In addition, lens hoods can offer some degree of physical protection for the lens due to the hood extending farther than the lens itself.

Famous quotes containing the words hood and/or storage:
“She stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasp’d by the golden light of morn,”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
