True, but it becomes quite insignificant when you point the lens towards the
sun, in which case the inside of the hood would have to be very matt not to
cause an unwanted reflection of its own.

It helps to undo the clamp screw a bit more than is absolutely necessary to
free it enough to remove it. I?ve found the clamp occasionally useful to
loosen an overtightened filter
A rubber hood is invaluable to avoid unwanted reflections when shooting
through glass, e.g. an aquarium or shop window displays at night ? not that
there many of these not covered by metal shutters nowadays
