Comments about Adorama Adorama 72mm Wide Angle Digital Lens Hood - Petal Shaped:

This is made of thin lightweight plastic that will likely snap as soon as you accidentally bump it against something. Cheap castings. Lock ring was molded crooked so it binds when you turn it. I'll will use this until it breaks and then spend the extra money to get a good one.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 72mm Wide Angle Digital Lens Hood - Petal Shaped:

The hoods themselves are strong and durable, but the lock ring is very sloppy.
Not enough binding or strength to actually lock hood in desired position, so if you use and rotating filter, such as polarizer, you will constantly be readjusting the hood.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 72mm Wide Angle Digital Lens Hood - Petal Shaped:

Build quality is excellent. I'd prefer the little window for turning polarizer filters that some lens hoods have, and the ability to reverse it to save space. apart from that, it is excellent. You will want to remove it for flash photography as it will cast a shadow.
