Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In less-than-ideal lighting conditions, the performance difference can be substantial. What’s more, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or reduce lens flare. And since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. In addition, the bayonet mount is designed to work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution. JJC LH-007 replaces SONY ALC-SH0007.
