The dedicated Vello AD06 Lens Hood for Optimal Protectionis specifically designed for use with Tamron's 18-200mm Di II & 28-300mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Di lenses. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. The bayonet mount is designed to also work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution. This lens hood features anti-reflective ridges on its interior.

Q: 1. Which is best the Sony LHP-1 Lens Hood or the Vello LHP-1 Lens Hood? How does the Vello compare to the one made by Sony? Is the Vello LHP-1 Lens Hood a screw type mount? Is the Sony LHP-1 Lens Hood a screw type mount? If you are also using a B&W filter are the edge of the image clipped on the Sony or the Vello?

A: Both the Vello LHP-1 Dedicated Lens Hood and the Sony LHP-1 Lens Hood connect via a bayonet-mount and do not use the filter threads. A standard filter can be used with either hood. Please be aware that if the filter has a wide construction (outer ring is wider than the filter thread size) it could interfere with the hood. A standard filter will work without vignetting.Both lens hoods are similar in design, made of machined-metal and will primarily do the same thing.
