Product Description

and the colours depend on the glass and coatings in use. Normally you want to avoid these effects, but occasionally they can add interest - as they more often to in film or video footage. A lens hood enables you to shoot 'contre-jour' or towards the light source, so long as you keep it outside the image area, without excessive flare. This can produce some exciting results. Package Includes: One lens Hood.

Customer Reviews

52mm Hood
Not the best engineered product, but for the price it's OK.
A bit of a fuss to keep it 'right side up' when screwed to a rotating polarising filter or the front element of your lens rotates as you adjust focus. I use mine on a Nikon d60 and with the 18mm-55mm lens the hood does show at the corners of the frame at anything wider than about 24mm.
Apart from that it works well.

Great!
It is exactly what it says. A hood cover for any 52mm lens. Screws in using the threads on the inside of the front of the lens. Works brilliantly with my Pentax K-m, 18mm-50mm and my 50mm - 200mm lenses.
