If you do put a lens hood on a wide angle lens, you run the risk of the lens hood actually appearing in your image, creating a heavy and solid black! This is not something most photographers want in their image. Any time your subject is backlit for example when you are shooting backlit during golden hour , or you are shooting into or near strong sunlight, you are bound to get a lens flare. This is a perfect time for a lens hood. Also, if you are using an off-camera flash or just about any bright, off-camera light source you may find that your light source is generating a lens flare.
Therefore, indoor flash photography and studio photography often require a lens hood. Night photography also benefits from using a lens hood as harsh lights that cause lens flare can come from many different sources and directions at night.
These harsh light sources can include street lamps, car lights, tree lights, buildings As you can see there are many benefits to using a lens hood with very few, if any drawbacks. Plus, I think a lens hood attached to a camera looks pretty darn cool too, and who doesn't want to look cool? Do you have any questions or comments about using a Lens Hood?
Leave us a comment below - we would love to hear from you! She also designs actions and textures for Photoshop. To allow a faster shot, I often leave the hood installed not reversed and leave the lens cap off - allowing the hood to protect the front lens element.
A small convenience tip: If the lens hood fits too tightly for your liking, add a little body oil to the threads. Your body oil - from your forehead, nose The hood will be much easier to twist on. Canon L Lens series lenses generally ship with the proper lens hood. Note that some non-L lenses are shipped with hoods in some areas of the world - particularly Asia.
I have been lobbying Canon USA to include lens hoods with all of their lenses - you are welcome to join me in this cause by lobbying your regional Canon division. Well, you are not required to use one, but if there are some very good reasons to do so. Get in the habit of always using a lens hood! Try them first. Make sure that you know who made the since it may or may not be a Nikon lens. A hood made for a 50mm lens doesn't provide enough shade on a mm lens but would cut off the edges on a 24mm lens.
There are specific lens hoods that go with each Nikon lens and I assume other manufacturers do the same. Both had a 58mm filter thread so a generic wide angle 58mm hood would do. You should be able to get lenshoods for the shorter lens and a Petal hood for your zoom but if in your collection you have a long lens you will probably find these are rather expensive. My solution when I got the Raynox telephoto adaptor for my pro-sumer cameras was to go my local plumber's wholesale store and hunt around until I found a drainpipe connector which matched the quite large diameter of the Raynox.
A coat of matt black paint inside [ from my modelling box] and I had my nice tight lenshood.. I'm sure it does cut a bit of light but better that IMO than flare from light striking the lens. I assume that your lens are not exactly of recent make so good lens hoods are important for you. The photo also shows the collar I made with a quarter inch thread to mount the rig on a tripod roughly at the balance point, on the rear of the adaptor. You must log in or sign up to reply here.
