The Heliopan 95mm Screw-in Rubber Lens Hood for Camerasis designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering a lens by extending and shading its front end. This prevents lens flare and improves image contrast. In addition, since the end of a lens is extended when using a hood, you also get the benefit of extra protection from accidental impact to that lens's front element.

This lens hood is constructed with a rubber compound that is UV and temperature resistant, and the rubber material can be rolled back for storage or to convert the hood for use with wide-angle lenses. By rolling back the lens hood, its opening can be made to correspond with a wide-angle lens's angle of view so that vignetting is avoided.

A metal mounting ring connects the hood to a lens with 95mm filter threads and a 0.75mm thread pitch. The mounting ring also features corresponding 95mm front filter threads which can be used to accommodate filters, lens caps, or other threaded accessories.

Q: 4. Can 67mm rubber lens hood be used in Sony FE24 - 70 mm. F4.0 ZA without Vignetting?

A: We have not tested this hood on that lens. However, our opinion is that most likely it will not vignette at the 24mm end. It may with a filter. One thing with a rubber hood, you can move it in or out and that often can solve problems. Here is a recommended hood that is metal. Sensei PRO 67mm Wide Angle Aluminum Lens Hood B&H # SELHMW67. And of course, the lens comes with the Sony hood. Sony ALC-SH130 Lens Hood B&H # SOALCSH130.

Q: 5. Do it fit to this lens: Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD?

A: While the Tamron 150-600mm lens does come with a lens hood, you could use the Heliopan 95mm screw in lens hood with 150-600mm if you prefer.

Q: 6. If this lens hood is used on the Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens with an UV Filter attached, will it cause vignetting ?

Q: 7. Will this hood work on a Sigma 150-600 lens? It is on a Nikon D7500 camera if that matters.
