Overview
Lens Hood 72 mm Metal Cylindrical Hood for Telephoto Lenses with Screw Thread Black for Canon Nikon Sony and Tamron

The lens hood with a screw thread of 72 mm helps to shoot with better contrast even in challenging light. The body of the hood has a cylindrical shape, is long, and made from metal in black finish, giving it a classic and durable appearance on the lens. The hood simply screws into the filter thread on the front of the lens. The seller primarily designates it for telephoto lenses, where the longer hood effectively shields the lens from side light. It is compatible with lenses having a thread diameter of 72 mm from brands such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Sigma, Tamron, Fujifilm, Olympus, Pentax, Leica, Samsung, and Minolta.

The main purpose of the hood is to prevent light from hitting the front lens outside the frame. Such light, when shooting against the light, under side lighting, or with a flash, reduces contrast and creates haze and light spots in the images. The hood also assists when shooting with lamps or at night, as it limits disturbing light from the surroundings. In addition, it serves as mechanical protection for the front lens, preventing unwanted contact with fingers and accidental damage to the glass. With a 72 mm thread, it is mainly used with larger lenses when shooting outdoors.

Before purchasing, please verify the thread diameter of your lens. You can usually find it on the front of the lens or on the back of the cap, indicated by the symbol Ø. Carefully screw the hood on without excessive force to avoid damaging the thread. If the sun is very close to the edge of the frame, glare may occasionally appear even with the hood. In such cases, shading the side with the light using your hand can help, and check the result in the viewfinder. For cleaning, a soft dry cloth is sufficient. When transporting the camera, the hood can remain screwed onto the lens, protecting its front glass.

A long metal lens hood with a 72 mm thread is a simple way to improve the contrast of photographs while also protecting the lens. You will find it useful when shooting landscapes, sports, nature, portraits, and while travelling when the sun shines from the side. The cylindrical shape evenly shades the lens around the entire circumference and gives the camera a classic look. Thanks to the screw mounting, the hood firmly holds on the lens and can be attached without additional adapters. It is a practical accessory for both beginner and experienced photographers.
