Nice kit for a great price! They fit perfect, work as they should, and overall improve image quality with a quick easy install. Adds a little extra lens protection as well. Happy with the purchase.

Box came pretty beat up which was a bit displeasing especially as I've needed to wait quite a while just to order (was out of stock in 72mm for a while) let alone receive it.I don't care about the collapsible hood so I'm not going to bother writing about it (didn't even put it on). I bought the kit for the tulip hood since it is reversible, can use a 72mm lens cap (as opposed to no longer being able to use the same diameter with many tulip hoods), and because the kit came with a nice 72mm lens cap & leash.The tulip hood works. You can even just pull it right off the camera instead of unscrewing the mounting mechanism, but for safety in the long term I think I'd rather unscrew, flip, and screw back on. I don't want to damage the zoom mechanism on my bridge camera. I wanted the 72mm for a fun little Finepix S1, which if you want to use a non-OEM hood/filter (or a combo of the two) you have to get an adapter ring thanks to it only having a bayonet mounting mechanism. The adapter rings are all 72mm from what I can tell, and I haven't found another seller on Amazon that offers a reversible tulip hood that's 72mm. So of course, I waited until it restocked.If there's anything I'd change, I'd like it more if the hood came with markings of some sort for guidance. Due to the mounting mechanism, the hood itself can spin freely instead of locking into the correct orientation like a typical hood. This means it can be knocked out of place with a bump which isn't great, and it involves a bit of guesswork as to whether you've got it centered perfectly when you do put it on or re-adjust it. I think even just putting lines in the center of the outside each petal, especially at the base of the hood piece, would be helpful in giving you a good reference point. It doesn't matter too much for me since, as long as the camera is stable, the petals do not obscure the image on my camera even after rotating 90 degrees (improper hood orientation). If it is a bit wiggly then the petals can appear when pushing my camera's stabilization mechanism too much. Since this is a pretty minimal intrusion, I'm not too worried about centering it just perfectly — but it'd still be nice.

Son una gran alternativa si solo vas a utilizar el parasol de tulipán, puesto que este se siente de calidad y tiene como una clase de rodamientos que permiten que el tulipán gire y lo puedas ajustar para no causar viñetas, respecto al parasol cilíndrico, he de decir que no es igual de bueno que el otro, pues este tiende a contraerse sin que tú lo obligues y tiende a deformarse fácil, por ende es más fácil que haga viñeta.

I lost the lens cap and hood for my Fujifilm X-T1 mirrorless camera during a hike, so I decided to buy this set mainly to replace the cap; I thought that the little string would be a good addition, considering my original cap simply fell off of the lens.When I unboxed the set and stuck the lens cap on my camera, I was surprised by how sturdy it was. While it was easy to take off, the cap stayed solidly stuck to my lens — I was not even sure that I would need the string (that being said, I still attached it just in case). It is easy to remove if I ever decide it is a nuisance.I really only use my lens hood to keep rain off of my lens, so the "tulip flower" lens hood is just a bit too short for my purposes. The JJC lens hood is the perfect one, in my opinion — except that it does not sit securely on the lens. In contrast, both lens hoods in this set are sturdy and I trust them much more than the JJC.Considering most individual lens caps on Amazon cost at least $8.00, you might as well grab this whole set for only a few extra dollars.

I just got this set so this is a first impression. I think this is a good value and a clever kit.I just bought a used Nikon 28-200 zoom lens which came with the correct Nikon lens hood, (HB-12) which is huge. It makes the lens look like a trumpet. And I don't think it is effective at shading the lens, too shallow and wide. Rather than protect t, I think it makes the lens easier to damage.To be clear, this set consists of two hoods, one tulip solid plastic hood and a collapsable two position rubber hood. Not meant for use at the same time.I always like rubber hoods for the protection they give even when retracted. This one does vignette at full wide angle but is fine at the half position. Adjusting it is an extra step if you are busy shooting but the vignette isn't that bad if you forget.The tulip hood is solid plastic and cleverly designed. An inner ring screws into the lens. The hood snaps in place using sprung ball bearings. Of course, the hood is free to rotate, and it takes some attention to keep in position. Not so bad, but it is a down side. Yes, it is reversible.The Nikon lens cap that came with my lens sits too deep in the ring to reach the release buttons on its sides, but the one in this kit has recessed release finger pinches on the front, just right for the lens hoods.This is a pretty detailed review considering I haven't taken a single photo with it yet. I'll revise it if I find I missed anything. Given the price, I am not disappointed.

I purchased the 55mm and 58mm lens hoods and I am really impressed with these kits. They appear to be well constructed and are easy to use. A feature that I find really beneficial, is the ability to change the tulip lens hoods from front facing (taking pictures) to rear facing (storage) without having to unscrew the mounting ring. The hood is constructed so that it snaps on and off the mounting ring. When mounted, it is on securely, but switching is very easy. This is helpful in reducing the chances of cross threading by having to unscrew the hood each time you want to switch functions. I also like the fact that the hoods can be used with the provided lens cap. The lens hood kits are a real value when it comes to the quality and cost. I am glad that I purchased them.The 58mm collapsible hood that I received did not have the proper threading to mount it to the lens. When I contacted Veatree, they were quick to respond. They stand behind their product and are replacing the defective part. I was quite impressed with the customer service that they provided and I would be happy to buy from them again.
