Nice addition to my kit

I have been advised not to put the lens cap on the camera when I am out to avoid losing the frame. Instead, I use this simple tulip lens hood to protect the lens from damage and also reduce flare. Looks well made and I expect it to hold up well.

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Not for wide angle lenses

Was very happy to get this lens hood. Installed and took some photos. Unfortunately it is not intended for the Sony 16-50mm lens, although it says so in the description. You will get the shadows of a tulip in your picture. Not sure why this is advertised for the lens. "Tulip lips" are too long and the diameter or crest too short; need wider.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Doesn't work as expected.

I received the item very quickly as usual. The problem is that when I put the lens hood on the camera, the fringes were visible in my photos. This rendered the hood unusable. I put a filter on my lens and I don't know if it made a difference or not. I did not remove the filter as I wanted it to be present when using this particular lens. In any case, the lens hood was something I couldn't use with my setup.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Upgradable
