Universal Screw On Silicone Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood Overview
3 in 1 Tele-Normal-Wide Rubber Lens Hood
Our high quality, collapsible 3-in-1 lens hoods are made from thick rubber, and are designed to extend from a wide-angle position to a long telephoto position by simply pulling it forward or pushing it backwards. This lens hood gives you 4 different shapes and desired effects including Extended-Telephoto, Wide Angle, Normal and Reverse, all in 1 lens hood, saving space and time.
What’s a lens hood good for?
The purpose of using a lens hood is to reduce lens flare and block unwanted light and reflections that can hit your lens from an angle, making it hard to see, especially in bright light. Lens flare can bounce in from out of the frame, reducing contrast and color, which is near impossible to remove in editing. Using a hood ensures a clear view in portraits or landscapes. It also protects your lens from damage. For any DSLR camera, whether Nikon, Sony Canon, Olympus, Pentax, or if using mirrorless, a lenshood does help and is more protective than using a polarizer or ND filter.
When is a lens hood necessary?
A lens hood can be used at any time of the day or situation. For the best benefits, use in strong light, with an off-camera flash, at night, for long shots, shooting without a protective lens, or when subject is backlit. It’s best to keep it mounted at all times.
Lens Hood vs No Lens Hood
One of the advantages to using our lens hood is it can mount in reverse and doesn’t need be removed, saving time and bag space. It isn’t needed if a flare or filtered effect is desired or if using a full frame, big camera, or the widest focal length, a hood can show and create a black vignette. So if it is in the way, blocking your frame, creating blurry edges, dark corners, or barrel distortion, simply reverse it instead of removing it.
How to Attach a Lens Hood
In comparison to others, our hoods are faster and easier to install, attaching directly to the front of your lens using the filter threads, or to the filter itself making it possible to use both at the same time.
