Here is a question that came to mind although I am not a digital shooter.
If one is shooting on a cropped sensor camera/back with a conventional full frame lens, should one use a longer focal length lens hood to maximise contrast etc?
Think about it: using a wider angle lens like a 60mm V series lens with a CFV digital back with a 1.5 crop factor means you get an equivalent angle of view of a 90mm lens - the lens' "sweet spot" is all that covers the digital sensor. So should one be using say the 80mm lens' lens hood to optimise the flare / contrast protection?
I hope this is not a stupid question; excuse me if it is please.
