Endlich fand ich eine veritable Alternative zur tulpenförmigen originalen Störlichtblende des 10-24er Zooms, ich hasse die Dinger und ersetze sie wo immer es geht. Ringförmige Gegenlichtblenden haken beim Verstauen in der Fototasche nicht ein, haben kleinere Durchmesser, lösen sich nicht ungewollt und man kann die Kamera-Objektiv-Einheit kopfüber kippsicher darauf abstellen. Den theoretischen Vorteil der tulpenförmigen Blenden habe ich in der Praxis noch nie feststellen können und wenn die Sonne tatsächlich einmal mittig von oben in das Objektiv scheint, hilft Abschatten mit der freien Hand - insofern sehe ich in einer derart kurzen Störlichtblende wie diese ultraflache SIOTI keinen für mich relevanten Gebrauchsnachteil, im Gegenteil.Der Hersteller bescheinigt zwar eine WW-Eignung erst ab 12mm Brennweite, wenn der Filterdurchmesser des Objektivs jedoch etwas überdimensioniert wurde, kann es durchaus klappen. In meinem konkreten Fall konnte ich sogar noch ein 72mm UV-Filter Ultraslim (von Jongsun) in das SIOTI einschrauben, ohne erkennbare Vignettierung. Yeah! (Erst das Filter auf das Objektiv und dann die Ggegenlichtblende aufgeschraubt geht nicht, das vignettiert bis 13mm)Ich bin super zufrieden mit der SIOTI "Objektivhaube". Sie bietet mir den gewollten mechanischen Schutz und verfügt licht-seitig über ein 72mm Filtergewinde sowie ein 82mm Filtergewinde so dass man die Wahl hat, welche Größe Schutzdeckel oder Filter man verwenden möchte. Da ein 82er Deckel und ein Microfasertuch mitgeliefert werden, ist man erstmal versorgt.5 Sterne für eine gut gemachte Alternative für Ultraweitwinkel-Objektive.

It’s a great fit and feels amazing for the price. It’s made of aluminum and has an anti glare coating in the inside. It’s easy to install and easy to store. Would recommend.

This works excellent on my 24-70mm canon lens. It keeps the sun off the lens, but more importantly it keeps the rain off which is the main reason I purchased this. I’m often shooting in the rain or in spray blowing in off the ocean. It gives me a good place to secure the camera rain cover. I can also quickly put on the lens cap to keep water off the lens. Works excellent. The only drawback is the lens cap can fall off fairly easily, probably only a matter of time before I loose it.

Monté sur un 70-200mm F4 Nikon, il tient parfaitement son rôle.Bonne protection contre le flare et bonne protection contre les chocs pour un prix modique.Le bouchon fourni est pratique car l'extrémité du pare soleil est plus grand que le diamètre de filetage coté objectif.Par rapport à un bouchon plastique, il ne risque pas de casser. Par contre, on ne pourra pas le ranger à l'envers sur l'objectif.

Used on my Tamron 85mm f/1.8 lens with a Nikon D500, which has a 67mm filter thread. I lost the original hood and did not want to spent $60 on a new one. I went with the "Standard" focal length model. Fits great, nice to have the cap and cloth included at this price point. The original cap still fits even with the hood in place, which is nice. I did test shots with vs without the hood and I got no vingetting (dark corner) issues some have had. People who have vignetting issues are not using the correct model for the focal length of their lens. Any lens going wider than 35mm requires the "Wide Angle" model. The "Standard" models, vented or not, will be for 35mm+. "Long" is for 70mm+ focal lengths. Since my D500 is a crop sensor (1.5x) my 85mm is effectively a 127.5mm focal length, so I could of gone with a "Long" model. I choose the "Standard" because I use hoods primarily to protect the lens from frontal impacts, not for flare resistance. This way I have some protection while maintaining a low profile. I would buy again, highly recommended, just buy the right model for your application.

Works perfect. Takes the sun glare away from the lens.

L'ho acquistato per montarlo su di un Voigtlander 35mm. La filettatura combacia perfettamente e riesco anche a montare il copri obiettivo originale del Voigtlander. Lo consiglio.

Really for the above title. Made of aluminum. Not plastic. The integrated cap is nice. Using in my Canon L 70-200mm lens. I don't need filters so the down side of not able to use filters is a non issue. My C100 has ND filters built in. 67mm filter size for this. Just screw on the hood, and leave it there. Nothing to negatively affect my lens. No expensive filters I don't need. Easy stuff here. If I do need a filter I would get one that maintains the 67mm mounting for this hood. Not paying CA on over double for their's. This will work just fine. Beyond that it just personal preference and spending more. The cap is great. Fits over the hood nice. How long will it take to lose? I don't like lanyards. Just throw it in my bag. Easy.I am buying used robust gear. The last equipment I will ever need. This hood looks like it continues on that theme of robustness I am looking for. An L lens is expensive. Protecting it is not. Your call.

Nikon did not include a lens hood with the 70 -300 lens. The first hood I bought for it had a bayonet mount. The hood kept falling off. I bought this hood because it screwed on. This hood stays on. I also liked the idea I could rotate my circular polarizer by rotating the hood. I don’t have to reach into the hood to use the polarizer. The lens cap that came with the hood is another plus. Again, I don’t have to reach into the hood to remove or install the lens cap. The hood is solid and well made of metal not the cheap plastic most hoods are made of. I don’t know why they included a ”cap keeper”. It is nothing more than a piece of string that has no means of attaching it to the lens or the cap. Since I don’t use cap keepers, I stuck the string in a drawer and will probably just throw it away. Vignetting is not a problem on a longer lens. The hood may not be as long as other hoods, but it does a great job of keeping stray light out of the lens. Inexpensive, well made and works. What else do you need!

The finish on the one I bought has no flaws, and the threads worked smoothly for securing it to my lens. I appreciate as well that it comes with a nice plastic lens cap that easy to put on and off, which is great for keeping the hood attached to the lens at all times while keeping dust off the front element when storing the lens. Just keep in mind that you'll need the right size hood (depth and diameter) for your particular lens. I purchased the 52mm hood which is appropriate for a lens that has a 52mm filter thread and a 50mm focal length (focal length being the optical distance from the point where light rays converge to form a sharp image of an object when the lens is focused at infinity to the sensor/film in the camera). Using a hood which is too deep for a given focal length will cause the edges of the image to get dark (vignette) and using one that is too shallow will let in unnecessary light that could cause unwanted flare. Also note that an ideal hood is only possible with a prime (fixed focal length) lens since a hood cannot dynamically change it's depth as you zoom a variable focal length lens.
