Ultimate Lens Hood Questions & Answers
What is a lens hood and why do I need one?
A lens hood is a crucial accessory that attaches to the front of your camera lens. Its primary function is to block stray light from entering the lens, which helps to prevent lens flare and ghosting, thereby improving image contrast and color saturation. Additionally, a lens hood offers physical protection to your lens, acting as a bumper against accidental knocks and bumps.
How do I find the right lens hood for my camera lens?
To find the correct lens hood, you need to know the filter thread size of your lens. This is usually a number followed by a "ø" symbol (e.g., ø67mm) printed on the lens barrel or on the front of the lens cap. Once you have this measurement, you can search for lens hoods with the matching diameter.
What are the different types of lens hoods available?
Lens hoods come in two main types: petal (or rubber) hoods and circular hoods. Petal hoods are shaped to block light more effectively while also allowing for the use of larger lens diameters. Rubber hoods are often collapsible and more portable. Circular hoods offer simpler protection and are generally less prone to vignetting.
