[TheForge] auto-dark hoods

Thats worth the trouble when they are on sale. They get (?), 50 or 60 bucks for them? Sounds like an easy $80.

Upon removing the battery cover and batteries I found that this particular lens was made by Jackson, though the hood its self was made in China.  I called Jackson and asked if this lens was OK for TIG, they told me that it was not and that if I wanted to upgrade they would give me $140 credit-on a hood of my choice.  I decided on the EQC Executive and they sent it out to me including the hood for the balance of the difference.  I would recommend that if you have a HF store in your area that you ask them to let you look at the hood and check if it is made by Jackson, maybe you could get a similar deal.
