These people are discussing which lens hood to use with their pancake lenses.

Bungle73 is this possibly the best solution for beginners as it's impossible to put the hood on backwards? First, it's a screw on hood. Second, the lens is only 2cm deep.

Try googling DVDA, that'll at least give you a clue.

I desperately need some advice on which camera case to buy. I sure hope bungle can tell me what the experts use.

No doubt, somewhere out there, someone is shooting with a lens hood screwed on backwards, wondering how to get rid of the sun glare in their photos.

you'll never get that time back
It's one of those threads where I read the first page and the last. I see it morphed into the 'what's a proper camera' argument for a bit. Back on track now though.

Reversed lens hoods also make the camera extremely aerodynamic, which is helpful when using high shutter speeds. 
If you need for any reason to use your camera as a hammer, it is easier to hold the lens if the lens hood is on backwards. Some of the bigger Canons and Nikons make excellent hammers or even weapons if you have to fight your way out of a tricky situation that you have got into through photographing people who don't want to be photographed.

Hardly getting over it.
Probably not, as few screw-mounted lens hoods will fit on backward - it's mostly the bayonet-mount lens hoods that will.

I've not seen this thread. 33 pages on lens hoods? How is this possible?
Is it worth a read if you don't have an interest in these things?
Précis, please!
