You've inspired me to do something similar, making the Nikon case into a stay-on by selective surgery. It works, but the result is nowhere as professional looking as your effort.One concern I have is that the hood may put more stress on the body of the scope than it will handle, as things get bumped around a bit in the field. Do you have any thoughts whether this is a valid issue? There are 55mm rubber lens hoods readily available from B&H here in NYC as an alternative, would that be a better choice?</blockquote>
