Heliopan Short Metal Lens Hood

Heliopan Short Metal Lens Hoods have a very solid, cylindrical all metal construction. They do not flare out at all, and are suitable for Standard to Telephoto lenses. The matte black finish virtually eliminates interior reflections. Also, they have a thread at the front of the hood as well as the back. The smaller sizes are very popular with Leica users.

 

Like using a tripod, the Heliopan Short Metal Lens Hood is one of the most simple and effective ways to improve your photos. Stray light spillage and reflections often cause photos to lose contrast and colour saturation, as well as lens flare – which might not always be an effect you want! Lenshoods can drastically reduce any unwanted light rays reaching the front of the lens, and in bright, sunny conditions they are an essential piece of kit.
