The Fotodiox flower lens hood helps prevent flares, reduces glare, and the flower design is perfect for standard and zoom lenses. The threaded mount screws directy onto the included step-up ring which fits the camera's filter thread. Screw-mount lens hoods, are designed to screw right into your lens and the rear locking ring allows the user to rotate the hood in 360 direction. Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. This lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area because of its flower shape.
