Lens hood Yay or Nay?

[JackC]

Do you have and use hoods on all your lenses? Soft, hard, reversible, collapsable? Which lens would benefit the most-wide angle or zoom? I have never had one or used one. Searching the net gives me-always use one or don’t bother at all! Any input from people here would be greatly appreciated.

Yep that's Amazon. I like JJC - they fit pretty well, revers fit for storage and the lock/unlock button is a nice feature I find. Plus the price is acceptable for what is, after all, a piece of plastic.

I'll definitely be getting one.

If you're relying on a lens hood to fight flare,

That's not the main reason I use lens hoods. I use them to protect my lens, and it recently save my RF 24-105 from major front element damage. I prefer not using filters for protection, but do use lens hoods for that purpose.

Cool! Is this Amazon?

Yes.

I find it interesting that you cannot buy it from the manufacturer.
