Stop stray light from entering your lens with the Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood, a screw-on type hood that attaches to most lenses with 58mm front filter threads. This hood will work with lenses 50mm and longer on full frame cameras or 28mm and longer on APS-C sensors. Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. Also, since the end of the lens is extended and the hood features a durable anodized aluminum construction, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Additionally, users can attach 62mm filters to the front opening and it has a non-glare matte finish on the inside to prevent reflections.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Have Canon EOS 18-55mm lens, thread size 58mm. Will this lens hood fit and work okay?

A: No, Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood BH #SELHM58 works best for lenses 50mm and Longer (Full Frame). For the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens BH #CA1855EFS, we would recommend the Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood BH #SELHMW58 https://bhpho.to/2Y6OWDk.

Q: 2. Will this be compatible with the Fuji 18-55 kit?

A: As the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS Zoom Lens uses 58mm filter threads, the Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood would fit onto the lens. However, as indicated under the Overview for the lens hood, it is designed for APS-C lenses that have a focal length of 28mm or longer, so there is the possibility of vignetting when using the lens set wider than 28mm (between the 18-28mm range of the lens). I would therefore recommend either using the dedicated lens hood that came with the lens, or consider the Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood, B&H # SELHMW58, which is designed for APS-C lenses up to 18mm wide.

Q: 3. I own a Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4, will this fit well on it?

A: Yes, the Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 has a 49mm filter thread and will work well with the Sensei PRO aluminum lens hood.

Q: 4. What is the height of this lens hood, minus the threads? thank you.

A: The height, minus threads is 1 inch or 2.54 centimeters

Q: 5. Any idea if this would work with Mamiya 6 lenses? Would it vignette the 50mm wide angle lens?

A: Sensei PRO 58mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood will fit the Mamiya 6 50mm lens perfectly. The design allow wide angle lenses to blocked light glares without vignetting.

Q: 6. Does the recommended accessory 62mm lens cap fit on the open end of the hood? (FWIW, a 55mm cap fits on similar hood that is designed to fit lenses with 49mm filter size.) If not, what if any cap will fit the hood?

A: Yes, the front threads of the hood are 62mm.

Q: 7. Will it work with a 16mm lens on APS-C camera or only starting with 18mm?

A: Yes, it will work on any lens with a 58mm filter thread and should cause vignetting with 16mm apsc lens.

Q: 8. Will this work on the Canon Rebel T5?

A: Hi! It'll depend on the lens actually. Not the camera. If you have the basic kit of the t5 with the 18-55 lens then yes. It will. The hood will fit any 58mm lens. In my case I also have a t5 and two lens with 58mm so it works with both lenses!

Q: 9. Will this hood vignette with the 28mm Summilux on the full-frame Leica Q2? I'm using a 52mm Elpro macro magnifier.

A: Sensei PRO 49mm Aluminum Lens Hood can cast a shadow depending on how close the lens will be from the subject being photographed, but there is no vignetting.

Q: 10. Does this vignette on the Fuji new 23mm/1.4 v2 wr lens?
