The 58mm Short Metal Lens Hood from Heliopan is screwed to the front of the wide-angle lens to block stray light and prevents flare on the front element of the lens. The aluminum hood also protects the lens against sudden or accidental impact. The front diameter of the lens hood is the same as it is in the back, which means a lens cap can clip to the front of the hood without having to remove the hood.

A: The Heliopan 95mm Short Metal Lens Hood B&H # HELHMS95 touts itself as being the same diameter front and back. That means the rear outside diameter is 95mm and the front inside diameter is 95mm as well. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list the front outside diameter and we are not able to measure it. If we were to guess, it is approximately 98mm.
