Can someone help me understand under which conditions I would want to use this hood?
Is that lens really worth it? I mean I've been looking into it for a while but I don't know. I've seen some great photos using telephoto by bulliver and Sekkle, so it is tempting to go out and get the 290 dollar lens (especially for that price).

But from somebodies personal experience? Are they really worth it? What advantages do they have? Are they great even in places without high rises?

Thanks in advance,
