I have had this hood for over a year and it has held up very well. Pros: The hood has threads on it to screw into your lens or lens filter and can accommodate a lens cap. The hood folds back on itself for easy storage. Con: Not much of one, but it does discolor some over time as another reviewer mentiond I would not hesitate to purchase another one or to recommend it to a friend.

The rubber hood screws perfectly into the lens. And, when it is not in use, it folds back perfectly, so as to be out of the way, and to save space when it is in the camera bag. A steal at twice the price!!!

For my Minolta lens, the hood screws onto the uv filter.

Love these rubber lens hoods. Easily push back out of the way, another protection for the front of the lens. Only down size is the rubber discolors a little.

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.
