I bought the wide angle rubber lens hood for traveling. It's great for taking pictures out of train widows or in museums where the displays are behind glass. I am using it with a minolta 17-35mm lens. It did not provide perfect protection when shooting towards the sun, but is a must for eliminating glare from glass.

I have a number of lens hoods for different cameras. This one is as good as any of the name brands that I Have used.

Lens hoods guard against uncontrolled, stray light and unwanted reflections which result in reduced contrast and possible "ghost Images". In general, the use of a lens hood is recommended because better contrast improves the appearance of the photograph. This accessory also offers protection for the front lens element against rain and mechanical damage.
Rubber Lens Hood are made out of a high quality matte black rubber. It folds down and protects against contrast - reducing, uncontrolled, stray light.
