Reversible Screw-In Lens Hood.

Lens hoods protect your lenses from impacts as well as from stray light sources that can ruin your image.

The hood is detachable from the mount and is reversible for storage, keeping any filters and caps in place regardless of the orientation of the hood. This allows you to use the original lens cap or the larger lens cap included in the kit, as well as maintain the protective filters in position, no matter how the hood is mounted.

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens, extending and shading the edge of the lens. Additionally, as the lens edge is extended, it offers extra protection from accidental shocks. This hood maximizes the coverage of the hood with minimal weight and surface area due to its flower shape.
