The pouch and the hood are as necessary as the clamp for a 70-200/4. Especially a lousy construction for a steep price. All the pouches I got occupy a drawer in a sideboard, but I hardly use 'em. And the hood? Covering a range from 18-140, how could this be designed to have an effect? For the price of this plastic part one gets nearly a flexible hood which could be fixed with a Velcro on each lens, such as this one: http://www.flexlensshade.com/product.html


In my experience, Nikon hoods are not bad but break more easily than Sigma's hood of the 35/1,4 due to material choice.
