Opteka 55mm Screw Mount Flower Petal Shaped Lens Hood with Lock

This lens hood shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality. In inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens, and protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars good buy
This type of lens protector is very good and looks greeat with the fujifilm s5000. It does its job flawlessly

5 Stars Great Lens Hood!
Whenever using my wide angle at 18mm you can see the edges of the hood slightly, however anything zoomed in at 25mm or more this lens hood proves efficient! And it’s very strong and sturdy (will definitely protect your lens!).

3 Stars Generic 55mm and all plastic
This is reasonably priced for what it is, but it’s a generic threaded hood. The hood ring for a Sony Alpha / Konika-Minolta lense won’t be used.

Since the threads are so fine, the coupler REALLY should be aluminum rather than plastic. You need to be very careful when screwing this on so as to not strip the threads on the hood.

There is an adjustment ring on the back which, once you’re lined up, you can use as a positive stop for future remove/adds and to help keep the hood from spinning loose.
