Product Description

The main function of the lens hood is to shade the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality. But it will also protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles and in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens. The advantage of the petal shape design is, that it offers the same prevention of flare as the corresponding circular or rectangular design, but with a smaller size and a lighter weight.Installation: * Rotate lock-ring to expose the thread's mounting thread * Attach the hood by screwing it on the filter or lens thread. * Rotate lock-ring back to fix the hood on the thread. * While fixating the hood with the lock-ring, keep the " " symbol on the hood exactly at 12 o'clock position for the correct perpendicular orientation of the higher sides of the hood.

Nearly adequate2
The lens hood is somewhat useful. It has 72mm threads, which is good for permanent mounting, but not great for quickly popping it on. I have it mounted on a Canon 18-200mm with a UV filter and at widest zoom there is definite vignetting in the corners while the edges all appear to not be impinged. A little work with a file around the corners of the hood and it works just fine.
The lens cap is mostly useless - the catches barely engage with the filter or lens or hood threads and the cap falls off very easily.
I think I'll dump this and get a hood with the bayonet mount.

Who Knows?1
The company that sold this to me sent a different but similar hood with no lens cap. This company should not be allowed to sell with Amazon.
