The primary function of a lens hood is to block light from getting to camera lenses from the sides. These sleeve-like accessories jut out and prevent unwanted light from striking the front elements of lenses, ensuring photos don't come out oversaturated. Hoods also protect lenses from smudges and scratches. They serve as a good substitute for lens caps when you're taking a break during shoots.
Completely made of aluminum - with front thread for attaching a filter
The scattering light diaphragm is completely made of aluminum. It offers a very robust design and it is precisely made. The inside is matted. In addition, the aperture has a front thread (same thread diameter such as the lens thread) for attaching a filter or a lens cover.
When to Use a Lens Hood
Use a lens hood when shooting a subject that's backlit by a strong source of light. Shooting with the backdrop of a sunset is a good time to use a hood to cut down on glare. Hoods are also necessary when using off-camera flash in the studio. Flash units placed to the side may introduce unwanted glare. Shooting at night also requires protecting camera lenses from harsh, stark light coming from cars, buildings, and street lamps.
