The best hood

Perfect hood for travel. We got these hoods to travel overseas. They are compact when on the camera and not in use. And they are perfect hoods when needed.

Great lens hood.

Works fine. I use it with Lumix 20mm MFT lens which it screws on. The lens cap fits into lens hood. Using lens hood helps me feel comfortable going on photo walks without lens cap and since lens hood is collapsible it is easy to fit back im my camera case when done.

B+W = quality

Like all my other B+W products, this hood is precisely machined and works great.

A Practical Accessory

So much better than a rigid lens hood! Stores on the lens in the pouch, so one less step when changing lenses. No problem removing the lens cover or focusing.

Hood fits well and is very convienient.

The Lens Hood fits well and works well. Very handy to be able to fold it back when you do not need it instead of having to remove it completely. One slight abnormality is when the lens is at close up you get a ring shadow of the hood in the shot but if you are aware of that you can back the lens off slightly to get the hood out of the picture.

Why This Lens Hood??

B+W #900 Rubber Lens Hood... delivered quickly and as advertised. Fits perfectly and is exactly what I wanted for my 28-60mm Sony a7c kit lens. Why? This collapsible rubber lens folds compactly and stays attached (threaded) to the lens, unlike hard lens hoods which must be reversed or removed. Also, by staying attached to lens, it is much less likely to fall off (in the worse place, at the worse time) or get left/lost someplace... it's always there when you need it. Most importantly for me, it can be attached to a polarizing filter to facilitate adjustment/rotation to the correct filter orientation.

Great Lense Hood

Great lense hood. Fits perfectly on my new Nikkor lense and uv filter screws on inside the hood. Collapsible so I never have to take it off.

Great Lense Hood

This collapsable lense hood fits my new Nikkor lense perfectly and the uv filter screws in place inside the hood. And best of all, it collapses so I never have to remove it to fit my camera and lenses back in my camera bag.

Universal Rubber Lens Hood?

I was very happy... but a little concerned whether it would cut off on the wide angle end of my lens (Sony H400V). It does. However, the design of the lens hood allows you to push back the actual hood part so you don't see it in wide angle shots...and there is no problem whatsoever.

Just what I wanted

Fit kit Lumix 12-60mm lens nicely. Along with a UV filter, it protects front of lens nicely, even when retracted. I haven't had an ocassion to extend it to remove flare, but it's on call for when it's needed.

Works well staying in place

It works exactly like I wanted it to. It screws onto my Nikon 500mm PF - so I won’t have to worry about the original one falling off. It is a good idea to check it - depending on how much it hits your body while moving.

Great Aftermarket Hood

The rubber hood was a great addition to my 75mm lens. The lens didn't come with its own hood, and I shoot outdoors quite a bit (documentary work on a major construction project ... plus, I live in Florida). It screws easily into the filter threads, and accepts a filter on top (I added a circular polarizer on top). The hood tucks away easily for storage, then pops out for use. So far, it's held its shape both opened and closed, and does not get in the way of my shots. Its shallow shape makes adjusting the circular polarizer easy, too.

It’s OK depending on your focal length.

I used it to block out window glare while photographing thru a window on a train ride. It’s a bit too deep and vignettes at the equivalent 28-35mm range just so you know.

Perfect for Canon 50mm F1.2

Works great on my Canon 1.2L Not so much on my 35mm F1.4L Ii.

No stray light

By RICHARD S.

This is a very high quality product. It is sturdy, well-made and no problem with screw thread fit. Unique to it is the interior ring pattern finish. Each “ring” is a tapered baffle angled to reflect direct light AWAY from the lens interior. It works perfectly with 50mm lenses and can also serve as a helpful compact hood hood for longer lenses. Additionally, a generic 62mm clamp-on lens cap will fit securely over the end.

Before you capture your next stunning photograph, consider the 55mm #950 Aluminum Lens Hood for Standard Lenses. This durable and high-quality lens hood is expertly crafted from black anodized aluminum, ensuring it's robust enough to withstand the rigors of professional photography. The interior features light-absorbing matte-black inner grooves, a unique design element that helps to reduce lens flare by reflecting direct light away from the lens interior.

Model 950 is specifically designed for standard lenses, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit. Its space-saving short design means it's compact and easy to carry, perfect for on-the-go shoots. This lens hood is not just a protective accessory, but also enhances image quality by preventing unwanted reflections that can interfere with the clarity of your shots.

Compatible with 50mm lenses, it can also serve as a compact hood for longer lenses. Moreover, it's designed to accommodate a generic 62mm clamp-on lens cap, providing an extra layer of protection for your lens.

Choose the 55mm #950 Aluminum Lens Hood for Standard Lenses for its reliability and professional-grade performance.
