SIOTI 55mm Lens Hood, Oxidation Matte Anti Reflective Treatment, Aluminum Alloy, with 1 * 62mm Lens Cap, Compatible with Sony/Canon/Nikon/Fuji etc >40mm Camera Lens

Lens cap is very loose and there is always gap between the hood and cap. Also can’t use the hood at 16-17mm as view is blocked by hood at the edges

Se trata de un parasol de la marca Sioti, concretamente el modelo TVLH-37mm en color negro. El parasol presenta una correcta calidad de fabricación. Es completamente metálico, por lo que aparenta ser robusto. Junto con el propio parasol se entrega una tapa y un paño de microfibra, un buen detalle sin duda por parte del fabricante :) En mi caso concreto, solicité el parasol de 37 mm para el objetivo Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42 mm, ya que Olympus no comercializa ningún parasol para dicho objetivo. La verdad es que tenía algunas dudas cuando lo pedí, pero lo cierto es que la rosca de 37 mm encaja perfectamente en el objetivo y, una vez puesto, éste queda bien sujeto. La verdad es que he quedado muy satisfecho con él y la única pega que puedo ponerle es que no lo fabriquen también en color plata, por lo demás genial. En cuanto al precio, me parece adecuado, así que de momento he quedado bastante satisfecho con él. Espero que esta opinión te haya sido útil :)

Il paraluce in questione è di ottima qualità, totalmente in metallo e ben costruito, da considerare attentamente su quale obiettivo andrà montato, io l'ho preso per un 35mm su full frame, pensavo andasse bene ma purtroppo vignetta visibilmente agli angoli. Se montato su un obiettivo 35mm su aps-c non dovrebbe assolutamente vignettare in quanto equivale a circa 50mm, ma su full frame, bisogna necessariamente prendere quello per grandangolo già dalle focali inferiori a 50mm. Do lo stesso 5 stelle perchè il paraluce è comunque di ottima fattura, ha pure una filettatura anteriore dove si possono avvitare eventuali filtri.

Used on my Tamron 85mm f/1.8 lens with a Nikon D500, which has a 67mm filter thread. I lost the original hood and did not want to spent $60 on a new one. I went with the "Standard" focal length model. Fits great, nice to have the cap and cloth included at this price point. The original cap still fits even with the hood in place, which is nice. I did test shots with vs without the hood and I got no vingetting (dark corner) issues some have had. People who have vignetting issues are not using the correct model for the focal length of their lens. Any lens going wider than 35mm requires the "Wide Angle" model. The "Standard" models, vented or not, will be for 35mm+. "Long" is for 70mm+ focal lengths. Since my D500 is a crop sensor (1.5x) my 85mm is effectively a 127.5mm focal length, so I could of gone with a "Long" model. I choose the "Standard" because I use hoods primarily to protect the lens from frontal impacts, not for flare resistance. This way I have some protection while maintaining a low profile. I would buy again, highly recommended, just buy the right model for your application.

This product has heavy vignetting on my Sigma 28-45

All metal construction that screws nicely into the filter thread. Front of the hood allows a 62mm filter to be threaded on. For this price how can you go wrong.
