The dedicated Vello HN-40 Lens Hood (46mm Screw-On) is specifically designed for use with Nikon's NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens. 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.

A: Sadly no, you would need the 58mm thread one.

Q: 2. 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 it fir the cannon T3i?

A: The Vello HR-2 Dedicated Lens Hood (52mm Screw-On) is designed to fit into the filter threads of your lens, not onto your camera body. As such, I would need to know which lens you own, or what filter threads it uses (not which camera you own) in order to confirm or deny if the lens hood would be compatible for your equipment. As the lens or filter thread size was not listed above, I cannot properly answer your inquiry. However, you may send an e-mail to askbh@a href= http://bhphotovideo.com target= _blank bhphotovideo.com/a with your inquiry, along with the model of your lens or its filter thread size, and we will see if the lens hood is compatible with your lens.

Q: 6. 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.

A: Yes, this can thread onto anything with a 46mm thread.

A: Yes

Q: 10. Can this lens hood be used at the same time the camera has a lens filter attached or do I have to remove the filter and adaptor ring?

A: Unfortunately, the filter adapter and this hood cannot be put on at the same time.
