Sandy,
Dreadful pun, considering these lens hoods are self-
supporting i.e. stiff! Seriously though, the Lee system is
good but pricey even in the UK. I get mine from Teamwork in
London - it might be worth checking
http://www.teamworkphoto.com/lee_filters.html to see if they
are any cheaper for you.
