Gold is a bit expensive and a bit fragile.  However, I have a lens that is
15 yrs old and as long as it is kept behind clear protective lens covers
and the paper/cardboard/gasket like material spacers are in place between
the protective covers and the lense, it will last and last and last.  I now
use my electronic hood most of the time but I have 2 other hoods for
teaching, helpers or what ever.

$0.02 worth.

Thanks for your 2 cents. The piece I'm missing is what advantage does
gold have? It seems like a welding lens gets you to the same place
cheaper and more rugged.
