What do I need to keep in mind when using the lens hood?

When using a lens hood, keep in mind that it should be the same size as the lens and should cover the entire lens. It's also important to note that the lens hood should be mounted on the lens when shooting in direct sunlight, as this will block the sun and all its glare. Other practical tips for using a lens hood include using it when shooting into the sun and when shooting with a long telephoto lens.

What is a hood

A hood is a special device for a camera lens, similar to a tubular attachment. Its purpose is to hide the lens from unnecessary reflections of light and sunlight, which can spoil the photo. In addition, the lens hood protects the lens glass from collisions with foreign objects or, during bad weather conditions, prevents the penetration of raindrops, snow, etc.

When buying a new lens hood, you need to consider what conditions you plan to shoot in, how often, what the nature of the shooting will be, and what your budget for the purchase is. According to these criteria, you can conclude which lens hood is right for you. It is better to purchase a hood with the original type of mount. This will save you time and make it easier to use. Try to spend maximum effort to find the optimal shape. If in doubt, then take a few, and in the process, draw a conclusion which one you need. An unused lens hood can be sold through an ad.

This issue is controversial. But if such an idea has arisen, and you can’t get rid of it in any way, then buy it. Such an acquisition will add solidity to your device.

For the Nikon 18–55 mm f / 3.5-5.6G II lens model, the Nikon-HB-69 factory hood is used. It has a bayonet type and is mounted in the grooves that are located near the front lens. For the Canon 18-55 mm III or 18-55 IS II model, there is the original Canon EW-60C hood, as well as its equivalent with a 58 mm thread. Canon EW-63C can be used with Canon 18-55mm STM lens.

Conclusions: The use of new attachments, such as a hood, can increase the number of new customers. Using a lens hood will help achieve spectacular shots and get rid of glare in the photo.
