Metal Curved Lens Hood - 58mm Vented Hood for Fuji, Leica, Olympus, Panasonic, Sony Lenses

I purchased a TTArtisans 100mm f/2.8 bubble bokeh lens...which does not come with a lens hood. Wide open I was losing contrast which was expected, but if I used my hand as a shield, I could get a bit more...just a bit. That is just the behavior of this particular lens. It's a 49mm thread, while I don't have any other lenses with that filter size...I just happened to have one the right size lying around in a box. It worked like a charm...but it is scalloped fairly wide, so I did not think I was getting much functionality out of it. Usually a wide hood indicates it is meant for a wide angle lens...so a no go for my 100mm lens. Ordered this little gem up...and it is QUITE a bit narrower in the front...which means more flare control. Not crazy about the openings in the back of the hood...but it is not letting light platter in so it's okay...I suspect it is cut that way for looks. It's also another path for dust to get on your front element...still...no biggie. I don't think it detracts enough to ding it a star. I'm careful with my gear no matter what kind of hood I have on the lens. It's a great little lens hood, and is narrow enough to reduce flaring.

Fits my OM 60mm perfectly.

Main complaint is that I don't like how the hood has "46mm" printed right on the side which is very visible... why not just leave it plain black? Also, the front is 1-2mm wider than 46mm, so a 46mm lens cap doesn't fit inside very well. It does still clamp, but it's not super secure.

Good value and seems to be quite durable?

I bought a new Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f1.8 (Black) Lens for Olympus Micro 4/3 Cameras and it didn't include a hood. Amazon was out of stock of the OEM hood and, at $35, it was silly expensive anyway. I own several Rainbow Imaging and BlueCell hoods, and they were excellent, so I figured buying the 37mm version was a safe bet. Indeed I received a lot of quality for only 7 bucks: excellent fit and finish, sturdy metal construction, no vignette problems and a handsome product. Unlike some designs, this one doesn't taper or flare towards the end but, instead, the is a consistent diameter. My new lens is now protected from fingerprints, doggie noses, raindrops and stray light. Plus, it looks like it's wearing a goth miniskirt! 01/18/2014 Update: I finally got a chance to try this hood on my Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/2.8 Lens and it works great as well: no vignette problem wide open and looks OEM. If you shoot with the 17mm f/2.8 and 45mm/f1.8 you only need to carry one hood!

I bought this hood for my new lens, and its perfect for this lens. Unlike the OEM hood, this one has an outer diameter almost exactly the same as the lens barrel. It also is coated and has ridges on the inner side to eliminate light reflection. One suggestion I have is that while the OEM lens cap works fine, it can be challenging getting your fingers in there to put it on or take it off. I recommend that you get a pinch cap while you're getting this hood. I have this hood mounted on a B+W UV filter (standard thickness) and there's still no vignetting. I did buy a cheap Rocketfish pinch cap that doesn't work with the hood. I'll just stick with the OEM lens cap for now while I'm ordering a pinch cap from Rainbow Imaging to see if it works. Its not difficult to manage the OEM lens cap when you get the hang of working it with one finger. Enjoy.

I bought a Sony full-frame point and shoot camera, which did not include a hood. I chose to buy this product for $7 instead of the $180 Sony version, which is very similar. As luck would have it, I accidentally dropped the camera on an asphalt parking lot, and it landed lens-first on the pavement. The lens hood collapsed, absorbing the impact of the drop. See the photo for proof! This product is lightweight, but sturdy when used as intended. It works perfectly to reduce flare and increase contrast. As an unexpected bonus it saved my $3.000 camera, too. I'm a klutz, so just bought two more for the next time(s) I drop it. Highly recommended.

Hood is okay, it screws onto 49mm filter threads, but the lens cap is 58mm. I couldn't find anything in the description that gave a size for anything other than 49mm. Why provide a lens cap to fit the opening of the lens shade when the shade is mostly open all the way around and no way will capping the end keep any dust out.

Quality is not what I expected. Lens cap is squeaky, lens hood is very rough

Recomendable, gran calidad

This lens hood is excellent quality. Smooth thread onto the lens with Hoya UV filter. There are no sharp edges. The lens cap provided is excellent and fits better than the original Fuji cap on my Xf23mm lens. Yes the UV filter + lens hood + hood cap will almost double the length of the naked lens But a little perspective for the protection and functionality it’s worth it. Highly recommended.

Good

Pense que seria como plástico o algún metal barato pero es un metal de muy buena calidad y tiene un muy buen acabado en cuanto a vista y tacto, ademas llego tiempo
