Quantaray Lens Hood

I love this hood. It is so easy to use and you don't have to take it off when you store your camera because it is so flexable.

For those who complain about this lens hood giving a circular pattern around the image when set at wide-angle settings, that is why Ritz also supplies wide-angle lens hoods for an extra [$]. I bought this for my 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens and it works perfectly fine. I may even go get the wide angle lens hood for my wide angle lens.

Comments about Quantaray Lens Hood:

This hood is designed for telephoto lenses 70mm+. You will get vignetting (a shadow around the corners of the image) if you try to use this with a wide-angle lens.

If you have a wide-angle lens, you need to buy a petal hood, which has cutouts for the corners of the image area.

I bought this an an accessory for a 18mm - 200mm lense. At maximum wide angle you get curved blurred images at the corners, with the hood collapsed! I spend a lot of time cropping this out of the shots. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THIS APPLICATION.

I have this hood mounted on a Canon Digital Rebel XT with a EFS 18-55mm lens. When set to 18mm, the hood causes a circular black shadow to appear around the picture. Nice effect if you want it all the time.
