A few weeks ago my lens hood slipped off and fell 90′ to its demise.
I always take a little comfort that I’ve got some protection for my front element when I have on a lens hood. With the soft ones, you give that up.
It gripes me to pay $35 for a name brand lens hood, but that’s what I’ve chosen to do. I’ve got Nikon equipment, and they fit around the outside of the lens barrel rather than screw in, so I don’t have to worry (as much) about vignetting, especially when I’ve got on a filter.
Check out eBay, I just ordered a replacement off-brand hood for my 24-85 that cost me all of $11 shipped.
Most are screw in, which I prefer to the bayonet mount nikon and canon are using now.
