Lens hoods are an inexpensive way to improve your photography by preventing stray light. They also provide an additional level of protection against lens damage.
Lens hoods extend out beyond the lens, offering shade so your photos don’t become too hot. They also prevent against light flares, those brightly colored spots that can often ruin some of your photos. We carry standard circular hoods as well as rectangular and petal-style, so no matter your preference, you’ll find it at Focus Camera.
Hoods are an essential part of protecting the integrity of your photo. You want to record an image as you see it, without additional light affecting the final product. Lens hoods are the perfect solution to blocking unwanted light, whether from the sun or indoor lighting. Petal hoods are shaped differently from standard lens hoods in that they don’t create a full band around the lens. Rather, the band looks like a flower petal. A standard lens hood is commonly used with lenses that focus automatically, while a petal or rectangular hood extend farther than traditional hoods, therefore eliminating even more light from the photo.
We offer quite a selection of lens hoods, but make sure you check your lens’ requirements before ordering to ensure you get the proper size and fit.
