Is the Sony LHP-1 Lens Hood a screw type mount? If you are also using a B&W filter are the edge of the image clipped on the Sony or the Vello?

A: Both the Vello LHP-1 Dedicated Lens Hood and the Sony LHP-1 Lens Hood connect via a bayonet-mount and do not use the filter threads. A standard filter can be used with either hood. Please be aware that if the filter has a wide construction (outer ring is wider than the filter thread size) it could interfere with the hood. A standard filter will work without vignetting.Both lens hoods are similar in design, made of machined-metal and will primarily do the same thing.
