Looks like you might be stuck with the real thing. I checked the Chinese knockoff brands I've used and none of them have a HB-103 copy.

Really debated filing an insurance claim for the lens hood. Not sure it's worth the hassle and premium jump for $66. Thanks for checking!

I just bought a knockoff hood for a canon lens (because gently caress paying $90 for a piece of plastic) and it’s 90% the same. Fits a little too tight when reversing but otherwise great and only cost $10.

I'm looking at getting a handheld lightmeter. The Sekonic L-408 seems great because its a relatively inexpensive meter with spot, and incident metering. I've heard that 1 degree spot meters are usually the best but this sekonic is 5 degrees. Would this make that big of a difference for me? I'll mostly be using it for 6x12 panorama shooting with a 65mm lens.

does anyone have experience taking pictures and video of CRTs? Mostly it's just a matter of shutter speed vs refresh rate plus all the other usual nonsense. I've been using an iPhone with various software (Moment, DSLRCam) to do this but I am thinking of getting some kind of actual DSLR for this (I have an ancient Canon Rebel somewhere but it's like 12mp and has some mechanical issues.) I'm looking for suggestions, for, basically, the cheapest used thing that probably solves this pretty well. Actual composite analog video on a CRT maxes out at 1080 interlaced (requires a nicer CRT than I currently have, but, trying to be future proof). Also ideally I want something with USB webcam operability so that this could be used to send the same information in realtime to OBS or whatever. Additionally, CRT artifacting does weird stuff which is well beyond the usual resolution of the screen, so I do need a resolution which comfortably exceeds 1080, and also shutter speeds that can deal with/exceed a 59-60hz refresh.

You are gonna have lots of issues depending on your use case moire etc What is the video signal to the CRT device, why not use an RF/composite video capture device?

I'll mostly be using it for 6x12 panorama shooting with a 65mm lens. I have a 1 - 5 degree zoom and I am using it on the 1 degree setting >95% of the time, so I would argue get something that can go down to 1 degree.

Currently looking to get a bag to lug all my camera gear on flights/busses. The current two I'm looking at are: https://www.nomatic.com/products/mckinnon-camera-backpack-25l?variant=39461865717832 https://brevite.co/products/the-brevite-backpack?variant=34952238891162&=undefined Curious if there are any other bags in roughly the realm/size/features. of these two that I should be looking at.

I would say the Shimoda Explore V2, Summit Creative Tenzing (I personally just got this bag, still wanting some real world use before I report back here), and Holdland backpack are among my top picks when I was looking for a bag. Ended up with the Summit Creative on local marketplace - basically new for $200. Too good of a deal to pass up; otherwise the 35L Shimoda was what I was going to get.

The Shimoda Urban line is almost out and definitely worth a look too.

I've got a BlackMagic 4K capture card, capturing rendered video stream isn't the concern. Things display fundamentally differently on a CRT than on anything else, and photos of CRTs are often interesting in ways that a simple capture isn't; some of the things you're describing as problems are part of my use case  My avatar is the result of a BlackMagic capture of a feedback loop. The actual rendered image on the CRT at that point had a whole ton going on that was not in the stream, and I have seen some really interesting stills and videos made from CRT captures. Everyone in that world is mostly cobbling together their own weird setups from bits of wire and sticks and poo poo. Maybe I'll just get an EOS 60D as an upgrade to the ancient Rebel I've already got.

I come from the far off realm of the 3d printing thread to point out this is a perfect use case: https://cults3d.com/en/tags/lens+hood
