Fotodiox Video / Medium Format Camera Lens Hood, Sun Shade, 67mm Black

This lens hood does exactly what it was intended to do, and does it very well: it keeps stray light off of the lens. Even marginally knowledgeable photographers understand the significance of this, and this item fulfills that need. However, it is extremely bulky. The 55mm attachment is derived with a stepdown ring from the hood's native 67mm non-threaded opening, and the hood tapers even beyond this 67mm radius to form a squared-off shape roughly four inches across. The sheer bulk obviously keeps the sun of the lens very well, but is clumsy, disproportionate on small lenses, and plain awkward. I cannot set my small Sony SLR down with this hood attached. Hence, I would only recommend this product if manufacturer hoods either are not available or are prohibitively expensive.

this is a good product, but if you have a wide angle camera, you will have to zoom in to stop it from cutting off since its a square. also, it is slightly off center because the thumb locking screw(the tighter the more off-center). I do love the way that it adjusts the light. overall a good product.

I recently purchased this lens hood for my Pentax-A 55mm and 75mm medium format lenses and it works great without any vignetting. I did buy a second 58-67mm step up adapter ring simply for the convenience of swapping the hood quickly. The only minor problem I had was the rubber ring protruded a bit so I removed it and trimmed about 2mm off of it, end of problem. A solid silicon ring would have been better but I'm probably asking to much. One reviewer mentioned that if you tighten the thumb screw to much it would cant, however I did over tighten it and it stayed on center and you really don't have to make it bar tight. Overall, for me anyway, it works perfectly and far less expensive than OEM hoods.

Nothing wrong with this product. Not what I had hoped. I may not have purchased it if I had seen it in person first.

Fits my 50mm Minolta 1.7 Lens Great. Offers good protection for the lends and helps to eliminate lens haze. It looks professional and had good build quality.

Excellent value, easy attachment and adjustment.

It's a hood. So what

To start I must say how impressed I was with the delivery from the USA. It was delivered a lot quicker than some of the items I have ordered on Amazon from UK retailers.Although this is a 58 mm thread you can use the hood with any size lens, you just need to purchase the correct adapter ring. The external size of the adapter ring that will fit into the hood is 67 mm, there is a locking pin that screws down onto the adapter ring. This means you don't have to keep going buying different size hoods for your lenses. I just purchased an adapter ring from Amazon which is 49 mm to 67 mm for £1.89 cheap as chips.I use this hood for my Panasonic X900M. I do have two zoom forward just a little to avoid the lens hood getting into the shot but it certainly does stop stray light across the lens. You can also still use your filters as long as they are 67 mm they would screw inside the lens adapter.A well worth the purchase.

Much bigger than I imagined even though it states it is for medium format (though it only has 49mm thread). Got it for my Fuji X100 and it is much too big on this small camera. It would be a good bet for a larger video camera and definitely look the biz.

produit correct pour des utilisations ponctuelles, le systeme de vis pourrait être amélioré et ce pare-soleil serait bien en format rectangulaire.

Purtoppo è quadrato e va bene per tutti gli obiettivi e focali eccetto quelle sotto i 20mm per le videocamere e i 28-30mm per gli apparecchi fotografici. L'oggetto è più che buono, ma io pensavo avesse una cornice 3:2 e quindi la limitazione c'è nell'uso.

Está bien el plástico es de buena calidad y cumple con lo que se ve en la imagen.Solo un pero, que no se puede poner la tapa original con el adaptador puesto.
