For follk still looking for this, I am still making them. I wanted to share an email I just got from a customer. This is verbatim:
Mark:
The lens hood screw saddle arrived today, and it took me less than 10 minutes to make the repair – including the time it took me to find a teeny screwdriver and several minutes on my hands and knees looking for a little screw I dropped on the carpet. Works perfectly! Precisely made. And I can tell it’s a good piece of metal, one I trust to go the distance. The price not only is fair, especially considering the amount of machining undoubtedly involved in making this piece, but it’s a bargain relative to the alternative – finding a used lens hood with an OEM part that also is destined to fail. If I ran Nikon, I’d start equipping all new lenses/hoods with hood-screw saddles made by you.
Thanks for the quick delivery. And thanks for being the kind of guy who sees a problem and steps up to solve it.
Best,
Steve
