Why such an impractical hood for the most 'popular' lens?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2012

Verified Purchase

I have four Nikon lenses and three of them came with good 'reversable' hoods that clip to the exterior of the lens casing. These are all wide enough to avoid vignetting and, importantly, the lens cover can be fitted 'inside' the hood when the latter is in position. Moreover the camera is unlikely to be damaged if the hood is 'knocked'. Unfortunately none of this can be said of this 'flower petal lens hood'.

This hood screws onto the thread for lens filters and so can be fitted to the huge number of lenses (many of old design) that do not have 'dedicated' hood mounts. Why the 18- 55 'kit' lens should be one of those is beyond me- it must be the most commonplace of all Nikon lenses.

The hood usually screws on ok, but if I tighten the locking ring it can be fiddly and difficult to remove: for obvious reasons I do not like to 'force' plastic threads. To my mind these threads are only suitable for (and usually only designed for) fitting filters and I'd rather they do not appear on cameras at all. Most plastic threads tend to 'bind' and the material expands in an irregular fashion when warm, attached items thus becoming hard to remove. Metal expands as well- but it is much less likely to cause damage. Moreover If the hood takes a knock that could damage the plastic thread and thus ruin the lens.

Since the thing cannot be reversed when not in use you are obliged to stow it in a pocket before the camera can be placed in its case, which is a nuisance. Frankly I'm reluctant to fit this hood at all.

Not quite what I expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2011

This lens hood is plastic and a little thicker and deeper than I expected. It also screws into the 52mm filter ring of the lens which means it can turn when focusing (especially if using manual focus) and subsequently appear in shot. The trick is to leave it a little loose until focus is achieved and then tighten in the correct position with the knurled ring. Bit fiddly and can sometimes stick - don't use force! If using a filter, the hood screws onto that instead but this deepens the hooding effect and can cause vignetting at wide angle setting. It's OK when you get it right but to me the product seems a little tacky.

Terrible - do not Buy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2011

I bought this hood for my Nikon lense 18mm - 55mm.
It is on of the worst products that I have ever bought in my entire life. When you attach the hood on the lense even though it looks perfect in the begining you will notice that when you focus (in most cases) you will have a shadow on the top left and bottom left corner. As a result you have to screw or unscrew ,a little bit, the hood every single time that you wish to focus!
As this is not possible, the product is totally useless.

52mm Flower Petal Lens Hood

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this lens hood to use on my Nikon 18-55 zoom lens. The hood is of excellent quality and well worth the money considering the pucker Nikon hood retails at around £20 and at first glance does not look too sturdy compared to this one. BUT and this is a BIG BUT with this hood in place I find that if the lens is set wider than 35mm then the whole of the image shows very bad vignetting and can be very obtrusive and annoying should you want to take a quick wide angle shot which is a shame. As I have already said, the actual build quality of this item is a good 5 stars but the vignetting issue lowers the star rating to only 3 stars - be warned.

Flower petal lens hood

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2013

Verified Purchase

This was a good and inexpensive buy to replace an original equipment lenshood which simply fell off I know not where! The screw fitting works reasonably well but you must avoid getting it cross threaded. It still needs a bit of care to ensure that the fitting is well seated otherwise it does tend to come off if you're not careful. You also need to ensure it fits square on otherwise it does interefere with the photo.

All in all, a good buy.

Looks good and well made and is as it was described. I was looking for a petal lens hood for my nikon lenses and this one caught my attention. Well priced and looked of good quality.

Dislikes: not much, my only problem is that trying to thread this onto the end of the lens can at times be a little tricky and I sometimes feel it's going to cross thread if I am not careful.

For the price it's a good hood but if I had the choice to buy again, I may look for a different one that fitted better.

I am delighted with this accessory, which I thought was just that...a fancy gizmo to make my camera look professional. It is, in fact a well made, useful piece of equipment which is used by pros.
