The Heliopan 72mm Screw-in Rubber Lens Hood is designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering a lens by extending and shading its front end. This prevents lens flare and improves image contrast. In addition, since the end of a lens is extended when using a hood, you also get the benefit of extra protection from accidental impact to that lens's front element.

This lens hood is constructed with a rubber compound that is UV and temperature resistant, and the rubber material can be rolled back for storage or to convert the hood for use with wide-angle lenses. By rolling back the lens hood, its opening can be made to correspond with a wide-angle lens's angle of view so that vignetting is avoided.

A metal mounting ring connects the hood to a lens with 72mm filter threads and a 0.75mm thread pitch. The mounting ring also features corresponding 72mm front filter threads which can be used to accommodate filters, lens caps, or other threaded accessories.

Q: 1. Will this hood be usable for both wide-angle and telephoto lenses? (30mm and 90mm)

A: Most likely. There is a slight chance of viginetting with a 30mm and it can't provide the full protection a longer shade would with a long lens. Odds are it will be a good compromise for use with both.

A: I use this on several lenses. I can push it back to make it smaller, it is great for packing and taking on trips, it has never interfered with any photo when in full out mode or pushed back.
