SIOTI Camera Standard Vented Metal Lens Hood with Cleaning Cloth and Lens Cap Compatible with Leica/Fuji/Nikon/Canon/Samsung Standard Thread Lens

Edit: Updated review after the seller changed the description, this is a review for the standard vented lens hood.The description used to be very specific and say that there were no problems with vignetting at ~22mm and above, but it seems they've changed the wording after reviews and complaints, although weirdly they've updated it to recommend the standard vented size for focal lengths of 18~55mm.As you can see from my photos that is untrue and if you plan on using any lens with a focal length of less than 50mm on a full frame sensor, the standard size will not work as advertised, because of really bad vignetting as you can see from my images.Even on an APS-C sensor you'd be looking at vignetting up to around 30mm (45mm full frame equivalent). The seller really needs to update this information to reflect the specs of the item.👇🏻 If you find this review or the photos helpful, please click the helpful button below!

Based on other reviewers opinions, I took a punt and ordered three of these in different sizes to suit my lenses.I can confirm that for the price, they are excellent bits of kit. The threads fit perfectly onto filter threads (either on filters or the camera lenses themselves). They can be firmly screwed tight, and are still easy to unscrew when required.My reason for purchasing these was to enable easier use of circular polarizing filters. It's always a bit of a pain trying to rotate a polariser when you have a normal lens hood on. - You either have to try to rotate the filter with the end of a fingertip, by poking it down inside the depths of the lens hood, or you have to take the lens hood off. - Neither of which options is ideal.However with these hoods/caps, you can screw the hood onto the front of the polarizer, which you can then easily rotate by turning the hood. - And, you still have the ability to put the hood's cap on to protect everything between shots.As a small caveat to this set-up, it's possible that vignetting might be a problem, as you will now have not only the filter, but the threaded part of the hood itself, in front of your lens. In my case, to avoid that possibility, I'm using over-sized polarisers with a step-up ring between the lens and polariser. - So I've got step-up ring, polarizing filter, then this lens hood, on the front of the lens.Works perfectly on my 18-70mm zoom, (and every other lens I've so far tried it on), without any signs of vignetting at any focal length.Manufacturing construction is of really good quality. The hoods are made of alloy, and the caps are made of plastic, and it's worth noting that the squeeze clips that attach the cap to the hood work smoothly and grip the hood exceptionally well. They certainly won't come off accidentally. (Although there's always the chance that they might if knocked strongly against something).I've drilled a small hole near the rim of each cap, and attached a short piece of black cord, which can then be looped around the camera strap just as a "belts and braces" job to prevent losing the caps if they should ever happen to get knocked off.For the price, I think it would be churlish to fault these caps/hoods in any way at all, and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

5 stars because I can't fault the product, but...I got the 37mm standard vented hood for my Olympus 14-42 EZ pancake lens. There is very slight vignetting at 14mm. I should have ordered the wide angle version. It's a perfect fit on the thread though and came with a 52mm lens cap. The opening to the lens hood also has a thread for 52mm filters. However it's not worth bothering with filters. Light enters through the vents which creates reflections off the filter and into the lens. Why didn't I think of that before ordering?So good product, as described, but I ordered the wrong thing really. My bad.

Once the hood is fully screwed on it fits perfectly however the trouble comes when you turn off the camera and the lens retracts back into the camera body. The fitted hood prevents the lens from fully retracting and when the camera is turned on again the lens will not operate out at all until you screw off the hood and switch camera off and then on again. I suspect this will eventually damage the camera electrics and any insurance could be void as a result of a third party attachment not fitting correctly. Have returned for a refund.

I don't normally bother to do reviews but I thought this deserved one. I wasn't expecting much, most of these cheap Chinese Len's hoods a crap but this is very well engineered. The threads are perfect and it seems to have been made for the Fuji XF27 lens because it fits it like a glove. They have provided a 58mm lens cap but what's great about this hood (unlike many others) is the inside of the hood itself is threaded. This means you can fit the original small Fuji lens cap or even a UV filter to the front if you wanted to. Overall well made and good quality. One potential negative of this lense hood when used on the XF27 is that it's a wide angle lens hood so it's protection may be limy when it comes to preventing glare. It still offers overall good protection though.
