Review on 📷 KUVRD Universal Lens Hood: 99% Lens Compatibility & Filter Hold, Size Small by Kristi Green

I bought this lens hood to use with a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens on a wide format camera. Support. A common solution is a bellows hood with a wire frame attached to a beam that protrudes from the front of the chamber. In contrast to. This filter is made of zigzag-folded silicone and attaches directly to the lens. Pros:* Folds flat* Much cheaper to buy* Opens wider* Can be used with any camera that accepts a lens/lens board* Can be left on the lens if desired* Virtually indestructible: nothing will tear or rust* Soft if you accidentally trip over it and dive around the tripod. * It may be a bit awkward to fold the hood the way you want. * Holds a round filter, but not necessarily secure. Since I use this lens with both my 4x5" and 5x7" cameras, it's a natural choice. When attached, it folds flat and is smaller than the lens plate, allowing it to fit right into the storage box. I also shoot small and medium formats, mostly with Nikon lenses. Would I use this lens hood instead of the Nikon lens hood made for the lens? For a prime lens, probably not (a Nikon lens hood fits the lens' angle of view exactly and often has a square hole). But for a zoom lens I would definitely do it. Zoom lenses are portable and versatile, as is this lens hood. And a good lens hood is especially important when using zooms, which are usually made up of many elements and groups to reduce flare (including the tricky ones you can't see but reduce contrast). Buy any size of these great lens hoods and keep them in your camera bag and you'll never have to shoot outdoors again on a bright, sunny day without a lens hood.
