The Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood II from Sensei is a standard 52mm hood that blocks unwanted stray light from entering your camera lens, minimizing flare and leaving the image integrity intact without diminished contrast. Light reflection and flare are minimized by the hood's ridged interior and matte finish. The hood attaches to the lens via the threaded internal ring, which screws into the front filter thread ring of the lens. It may also be attached to a filter with a front thread, including a UV filter. The threaded internal ring will accept a lens cap, protecting the lens from dust, fingerprints, and scratches when not in use. The collapsible design makes the hood convenient to store in your lens case or camera bag, eliminating the need to put it on and take it off each time you need it.

Reflections can cause unwanted exposure, longer focus times, and ghosting in images. The Sensei rubber lens hood has a matte finish and a ridged interior to reduce reflections and prevent flare from entering a lens.

The collapsible design saves space in a lens case or camera bag, eliminating the need to remove the hood from the lens when stored.

A threaded aluminum ring offers robust attachment to a lens, without reduced productivity due to weaker plastic rings featured on other lens hoods. The collapsible construction offers easy access to the threads for attaching filters or polarizers.
