Ricoh Lens Hood

Have recently purchased a Ricoh GR and I really like the camera but this plastic lens hood i really don´t like. Does anyone know if there are a suitable lens hood in metal?
 
Out of curiosity what don't you like about it? I personally only use the tube bit, as much to improve handling and protect the lens mechanism as for its shading properties. Bear in mind the fit is proprietary and to be honest I would rather have a snap-off plastic tube than a metal one that might wreck the camera too in extremis...
 
OK!
you're probably right, the fit of the tube to the camera is good but it's not metal. It is the feeling of plastic that annoys me, but I survive it is not the biggest issue in the world. Interesting to remove the lens hood and just run the tube it gets a little smoother and of course a little less plastic.
