In that sort of situation, when the shooting is hot and heavy, 
just leave the thing at the wide-angle setting, where it'll give 
you about the same protection as the standard hood would.  Or go 
sans filter, which is what I do 90 percent of the time.

Yep.  They've available in 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72 and 77mm 
sizes.  With this lens, I use 72mm filters when the need arises, 
ergo the 72mm hood.
