The FotodioX Reversible Lens Hood for Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSSfrom FotodioX Reversible Lens Hood for Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSSis a tulip-design lens hood that blocks stray and extraneous light from entering the lens, preventing lens flare. It also protects the lens from accidental impact, which would cause damage.

The included mounting ring has threads of 40.5 and 52mm diameters. The Lens hood itself has 52mm threads and screws onto the mounting ring, which is then screwed onto the lens. The hood can be reversed on the mounting ring for storage. Because the hood mounts to the ring, the filter and lens cap stay in place without having to remove them. Additionally, you can use the original Sony lens cap or the lens cap included with kit.

Q: 1. What's the difference between the 1st version and this second version as the specs seem to be the same?

A: Even though the optical formula of the lens is unchanged over the previous version, Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens has an updated control chip which allows the lens to focus while zooming. This also means that the lens can keep up with the 1080/120p video recording mode on the new ZV-E10 II. The new version is now able to communicate gyro information from it's stabilization system to the camera body, allowing better coordination between the two. The move from a metal lens mount to a plastic one in the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens helps reduce the weight from 116g to 107g (3.8oz).

Q: 2. How many degrees is the focus throw?

A: While not specifically listed it is estimated to be around 140 degrees.

Q: 3. I just bought the Sony A6000. Will this fit on my camera lens ? Thanks

A: I have had this lens hood for a few months now. It fits on the lens easily and detaches easily. I have had no problems at all with this lens hood and use it on the camera all the time. It will fit both filter sizes both the 40.5 MM and the 52 MM. I use the 40.5 MM Filter size.John H Canada

Q: 4. is this lens parafocal?

A: Yes, this lens is parfocal.

Q: 5. Will this work with the Sony A7C?

A: The Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens (Sony E, Black) is compatible with the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera. However, this lens is designed for Sony APS-C sensor cameras and will create a crop factor on full frame cameras, such as the Sony a7C. The megapixel will drop to 10MP in crop mode.

Q: 6. I just bought a Sony A6000. Will this hood fit my camera lens? Thanks

A: I use this on my a6000 and it works fine. The shade turns freely on the adapter (no dot or mark for where to position it). So you need to be careful that it is orientated properly or it will interfere with the photo at wide angle. You can put a mark on the shade to help check it is in the proper position.

Q: 7. How do I put a clip on mattebox on this lens? Seems it's not a 114mm diameter.

A: There is a groove that fits the end of the lens. Will not work with other lenses.

Q: 8. What is the zoom ring gear size? Thanks!

A: Sorry, but there is no zoom or aperture gears on this lens. What looks like zoom or aperture rings are just rubber grips. Only the focus has a cinema type 0.8 gear ring.

Q: 9. Can I use this lens with Canon C500 PL? Any recommend adapter?

A: Unfortunately no, you cannot. The C500 PL is designed to take lenses that are designed to work on cameras with reflex mirrors. Thus the lens is further away from the sensor whether there is a mirror present or not. On the other hand, Sony E mount lenses and cameras have no mirrors thus they can take advantage of that fact and mount the lens close to the sensor saving weight, design compromises and cost. (You can use, with an adapter, PL lenses on Sony E mount cameras.) Now if by some manner you were to attach a Sony E Mount lens to the C500 PL, the image could only be focused somewhere in front of the sensor. This of course means the image would be out of focus as far as the sensor and you are concerned.

Q: 10. Can this lens be effectively used in 4k Super 35 mode on the Sony FX9 camera?

A: Yes, the Sony 19-110 G Lens can be used in Super35 mode on the Sony FX9.
