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.
This hood enables you to shoot even towards the light source (in bright sunlight) without excessive flare, as long as you keep the light source outside the image area.
Installation:
- Screw an UV-filter (or any other filter) either directly on the front of the lens or on the adapter.
- Attach the lens hood on top of the UV-filter with the “▼” symbol at 12 o'clock.
- Fixate the hood using the lock-screw of the hood.
