Camera Lens Hood - 58mm - Rubber - Set of 2 - 3 Steps - Sun Visor - Reduces Lens Glare - Protects Against Excessive Sunlight

Firstly, this is not a professional grade item. It costs £8 for two and a generic cloth. Reviews on this item have been very harsh.Was skeptical after reading reviews but as stated above, they’re not canon or Nikon grade. They’re budget items to keep in the kit bag to use if needed.They’re not designed for wide angle lens’ at all, yes when collapsed and there’s a certain way to make them work with wide angle lens but do not buy these.Most photographers with common sense would look for ones designed for wide angle lens’.The fit was spot on, on both hoods, they were packaged in their own individual boxes along with the cloth in a bag, wasn’t squashed, but these would easily form to how they’re supposed to be.Wide angle lens at 18mm showed a fair bit of vignetting however there is a way to fold these to offer some protection from the sun and light but you really should be buying one specifically designed for wide angle lens, any photographer would do!At about 28-35mm they’re useable with no vignetting depending if full frame or crop and what type of lens you have for crop sensor.The hoods fit nicely onto filters, the lens caps you have will fit into the centre as normal, and also the hoods can be directly attached to lens and a filter screwed into the hood along with a lens cap.Overall im happy spending £8 on these as something to throw around on my lens’I’d buy these again and have no issue recommending to anyone whom wants a cheap alternative to the £50+ pro grade versions.

I got these to replace an old hood that had split. They are the correct fit and the materials are OK but not great. I have used one on an Olympus m.zuiko 40-150mm and there is no noticeable vignetting. There might be a problem if fitted to a wide angle lens as the hood and fitting ring are not concentric, which was obvious as soon as I opened the box it is that bad! That said, it does the job and will probably last a while so I am happy for the price especially as there are 2 supplied. Incidentally they are both wonky so it looks like poor manufacturing.

These were bought for my PENTAX camera lenses and although I did make a slight mistake in not noticing that the front lens on my SIGMA 70-300mm zoom rotates thereby making the petal hood not suitable, which was a disappointment, but this is not a fault, but could and did use rubber collapsible hood so it is a good set . The other SIGMA lens 18-200mm doesn't rotate front lens and I used a different diameter set for that lens both are near identical to original manufacturers hoods but much cheaper as there is a whole set of two with cleaning cloth WHAT a bargain .

Not as sturdy as expected. The rubber keeps coming off the thread when screwing the items onto or off the lenses. Got one thread stuck on to a lens. Managed to get it off in the end. No it was not cross threaded. On a Cannon camera part of the protector comes out on your photos occasionally. The effect is amusing at times Anya hindrance at other times.

Bought this for our granddaughters Nikon camera as her lens came without a hood. The idea behind this hood is great as it is rubber. It folds back and this is where the problem lies as I was constantly opening this hood out properly for her. This also means that the hood doesn't really protect the lens. If a way could be found to ensure the hood locked in place then this would be brilliant. If you want to reduce flare then this is a great bit of kit.
