Overview
Rubber Lens Hood 62 mm Screw-On Folding Hood Black Universal Protection Against Side Light and Glare

This rubber lens hood is designed for lenses with a filter thread diameter of 62 mm. Simply screw it onto the front of the lens and it is ready for use without any adapter. The hood captures light coming from the side, which would otherwise hit the front lens and create glare or a hazy veil in photographs. It is made from soft rubber, making it lightweight and pleasant to the touch. It is useful outdoors on sunny days as well as in brightly lit environments.

The folding design is particularly practical. When you don't need the hood, you can fold it over the lens body, keeping the camera compact. You can return it to working position with a single motion of your hand. The soft material also partially protects the lens edge when you accidentally bump it against a table or railing.

The hood is made from a single piece of material and has no moving parts or latches. It is useful for photographing landscapes, urban scenes, sporting events, and family outings, and it performs equally well when shooting video. The effect is most pronounced when the sun shines at an angle from the side, shading the front lens. It will also be appreciated by owners of older manual lenses who shoot in challenging lighting conditions near water or on snow, where glare often occurs. When photographing through glass, such as from a window or display case, you can press the edge of the hood against the glass to reduce reflections from the room.

For cleaning, a dry cloth is sufficient, or a cloth slightly dampened with water. When attaching the hood, screw it on gently and do not overtighten to keep the lens thread undamaged. The correct thread diameter can be found on the front of the lens, on its cap, or in the lens manual. Store the hood preferably in an unfolded state in a dry place to help the rubber retain its shape for a long time. You can keep it permanently attached to the lens, so it is always at hand. The rubber material withstands typical temperatures when shooting in summer or winter, and the hood is light enough that you won't notice its weight on the lens. If you are using a protective or polarising filter with the same thread, please check in advance if the filter allows for the attachment of additional accessories to its front side.

The 62 mm screw-on folding hood is a practical accessory for anyone who wants to reduce glare in their images. Thanks to the screw-on mount, it stays securely on the lens even while walking or cycling. You do not need to remove it when transporting. The matte black surface does not attract attention and matches most cameras. The package includes 1 piece of the hood, so please verify the thread diameter of your lens before ordering. It is easy to maintain and will serve well on trips, holidays, and while shooting at home.
