Screwed into the filter thread, lens hoods cut stray light and reflections and protect the front element. Choose from plastic tulip hoods, long metal cylindrical hoods or vented retro-style hoods to match a thread diameter from 37 to 82 mm. Rectangular aluminium hoods come with a step-up ring to 52 mm and a rubber cap.

For DSLR and mirrorless cameras there are collapsible rubber lens hoods with three positions that take up less room in your bag when folded. Universal silicone hoods fit lenses from 53 to 88 mm and also help when shooting through glass, such as a window or shopfront. The reversible bayonet hood is designed for selected telephoto lenses.

Protect the empty hot shoe with hot shoe covers shaped like decorative cat figures, which fit a standard hot shoe. Hot shoe spirit levels are also available to help you straighten the horizon. For complete lens protection there are kits with a tulip hood, UV filter and a lens cap with a cord.
