I ordered this because it was a metal threaded lens hood. The focal length was not specified, so I took a chance. For 35mm, DX or FX formats, it is only useful down to 35mm focal length. It vignettes at any wider focal length. That means it is not useful to me for my Nikon 28-85mm zoom lens. Any other lens I have with a 62mm thread size is even wider.

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.
Metal Lens Hood are made of black anodized aluminum. It is suitable for Wide Angle Lenses.
