You just have to be careful not to try walking anywhere whilst still wearing them.

Thanks Alex,
I forgot to mention, that the red hood is left attatched, the CG folds up with it still on the 135mm lens - very handy.

p.s. I'm Croftfoot/Rutherglen.

Howdy - been a long time since I've written anything, however . .
I started out with a rubber collapsible hood for my Symmar which worked well, then I got a Kodak solid plastic square thing, which also worked well, and then I found the whole faff of using a hood a total . . er . .faff . . and resorted to using the dark slide to shield the lens, which sort of worked and was considerably more convenient!
