The dedicated Vello HB-25 Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Nikon's 24-85mm f/2.8-4 D-AF & 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 G-AFS VR lenses. 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.

The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. The bayonet mount is designed to also work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do Vello make hoods that fit Sigma lenses such as the 17-70mm zoom with a 72mm filter size?

A: I purchased the ET-83C hood for a Canon 100-400 f 4.5-5.6. The filter ring for this lenses is 77 mm and your Sigma lenses is 72 mm filter size. This hood would not fit. All the best.

Q: 2. I have installed a Fuji lens protector/filter. Will I be able to use this hood with the filter installed?

A: Yes. The LHF-XF23 should not interfere with a standard clear or UV filter screwed directly onto the lens. However, if you use filters with more than one lens element, there is a chance it won't fit (CPL or VND).

Q: 3. Will it fit older canon 100-400 ?

A: Yes. The following hood will accommodate the original 100-400 tuck and pull system.

Q: 4. Does this hook work with FE 28-60 mm Sony. At 28 mm, will it have a little black shades at the corner?

A: The Vello LHS-1650B lens hood will fit the Sony 28-60mm lens and it does not vignette the image.

Q: 5. Does this fit the 56mm 1.2?

A: No this would not be the right hood for the 56mm f/1.2

Q: 6. Will his fit the Canon F4 24-70mm?

A: This hood will not fit the f/4 version of the Canon 24-70mm lens.

Q: 7. Will this lens hood also work with a 58mm Canon EF 75-300mm, f4-5.6 ( III ) lens?Sorry to bother you with such a trivial question.Thank you!Bill

A: Were always happy to address any questions you may have, please feel free to ask us anything gear related you need answered. As this is a dedicated lens hood for the Canon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6, it will not fit the Canon EF 75-300mm lens. You instead will want the Vello ET-60 lens hood: http://bhpho.to/TMfPen

Q: 8. Will this attach to my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens?

A: No, it will not. The Vello ET-65 III Lens Hood is not compatible for use with the Canon 100mm F/2.8L EF IS USM Macro Lens; it is only compatible with the Canon 100mm f/2 EF USM lens, the Canon 85mm f/1.8mm EF USM lens, the Canon 135mm f/2.8 EF with Softfocus lens, and the Canon 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 EF USM lens. If you are looking for the correct Vello lens hood for use on the 100mm f/2.8L EF IS USM Macro lens, the Vello ET-73 Dedicated Lens Hood, B&H # VELHCET73, would instead be the right option for your needs.

Q: 9. Does this come with the cap as the Vello LHF-XF23 Lens Hood does? If not, does Vello sell one? Price?

A: No, Vello does not make a cap for that version of hood. One just uses the cap the lens comes with.

Q: 10. Will this fit a Canon EOS RP mirrorless camera 24-105mm?

A: No, the Vello EW-78F Dedicated Lens Hood is not compatible with the RF 24-105 f/4 or the f/4-7.1 version.
