It's compact and very functional, I prefer this to the rigid type of hood.

Just needed a lens shade for my "old" Minolta Maxxum AF lens. This works as well as the original Minolta brand.

Works well and is well made. Rubber hood provides some degree of protection from bumps when working in crowded venue. Hood does not change the way the lense cover fits.

I have been purchasing rubber lens hoods for my lens for ten years. This is the first rubber hood I have seen without front threads for mounting a lens cap or filters. I guess you could put filters behind it, but I always install a lens cap anytime I am not actually shooting pictures; to keep off finger prints, some dirt, and to protect the front element as much as possible.

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.
