Easy to carry around as it collapses. Shows a tiny bit when used with a filter and wide angle part of my zoom lens, but I just collapse it a bit. Just a little bit hard to start the screw threads, not a big deal.

I bought it to use and protect my new Nikkor 1.8mm f1.8 Nikkor lens. It not only protects my new lens, but is (1)collapsible to save space in a small camera bag,(2)allows use of 40.5mm screw-in threaded lens filters, (3)facilitates my fat-finger access removal/replacement of a small lens cap and(4)is very reasonably priced by Adorama.

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.
