The dedicated Vello LHP-1 Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Sony's DSC-RX1, RX1R & RX1R II digital camera. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

For Sony DSC-RX1, RX1R & RX1R II Digital Camera

Designed to accommodate the exact angle of view of the camera's lens

Minimizes flare and ghosting by blocking out stray light

Q: 1. Can I use a circular polarizer filters with this lens hood?

A: This lens hood will not prevent the attachment of a standard threaded filter. As others have mentioned, reaching a circular polarizer with your fingers might prove difficult - as is the case with any lens hood. You will have to reach around the hood to spin the filter, rather than accessing it as if it were another ring on your lens.

Q: 4. have sony a 65 & a77 , need lens hood for both. which would you recommend?

A: The lens hood you need depends on the lenses that you are using. If you are using the standard kit lens, which in Sony's case are both the 18-55mm and the 18-70mm lenses, then you can either use this Vello SH108, or the lens hood manufactured by Sony, called the ALC-SH108.

Q: 5. Will this hood work with Sony's Zeiss 35mm f?1.8 Sonnar T* ZA?

A: No, it will not. The Vello LHP-1 Dedicated Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with the built-in lens on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 Full Frame Compact Digital Camera. We do not have dedicated Vello lens hoods for Zeiss lenses. While I do not see a Zeiss 35mm lens with a f/1.8 aperture, if you meant the Sony Zeiss Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA Lens, the FotodioX Metal Bayonet Mount Lens Hood for Sony Zeiss Lenses, B&H # FO2435SOZEHD, would be compatible for your needs.
