Cheap Plastic - 18-55mm, cheap


This lens hood fit perfectly on my Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens.



Screws on firm and easy and is removed just as easy. There is an alignment mark on the hood to line up with center marks lenses.



Be careful if the lens you are getting this for rotates at the end. The Nikon 18-55mm kit lens rotates at the front thus, the hood will rotate with it and be a little less effective (a rubber/round hood would be better in this case) 52MM TULIP FLOWER HARD LENS HOOD FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS

I have ordered many of these lens hoods in different sizes and different types and have been very happy with all of them. I could not find another product that would beat this in price and be as well made for the price as these are. The product arrived on time but I use my PRIME membership to get 2 day UPS shipping, The items were well packaged. I will use this company in the future and would recommend them to my friends.

This lens hood is exactly what my 35mm Nikon F1.8 Needs, It fits like a charm and is well constructed and "Looks" a hellva lot better than the lens hood supplied by Nikon, Delivery was as promised and arrived in as expected perfect condition.

You can't be surprised at the item for the price. Hood gets in the way at certain distances and the design is overall pretty useless for someone who does a lot of work in all areas of photography. However, I don't see why anyone who's a professional would buy a $5 lens. Company is very cooperative and shipped the item faster than said.

The lens hood is a good value for its price. I have it on my Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens at the moment.



Pros - very sturdy material, good "barrier" between lens and external factors, I like that the hood can counter rotate (manually, of course) against the focus.



Cons - when at 18 to about 25mm, there is a very bad vignetting; interferes with the on camera flash when shooting as far away as 8 feet.



It does the job for the price. - 52mm - Cheap - Lens Hoods - 18-55mm'
