67mm Lens Hood Set, Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood with Filter Thread + Reversible Tulip Flower Lens Hood + Center Pinch Lens Cap + Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth

This little kit has arrived today so just 1st impressions for now. If I find any problems over the next few months I'll leave an update. What's in the kit: 1. Rubber lens hood which screws straight onto your lens/filter and has 3 positions depending on how much light you're having to control. The rubber is thinner than a branded version but absolutely works fine and bounces back to circular if it happens to get a bit squashed. 2. Hard petal type hood which is reversible for carrying/storage; the way this works is that the hood pops off a ring that screws into your lens/filter (see picture of tiny ballbearing mechanism of which there are 4 spaced evenly). Getting the hood on/off requires a simple push and has no 'play' once engaged. 3. Lens cap with lanyard. Smooth mechanism although for some with larger fingers the design of the part one would 'pinch' does not have a lip under which one might place the fingertips for better purchase. The lanyard is fitted by inserting the thin, but strong, cable through a small hole in the cap. What looks like a sim card tool is supplied for this purpose. Fiddly but manageable and the metal tool does not damage the cable. The other end is an elasticated loop which is quite small (a good thing) that can either stretch over your lens or tied in the traditional method to the camera lug/strap. 4. Fibre cloth which is about the size of something you might get from your optician. Always handy. Overall the quality appears to be good and the item solidly made and for £7.99 (if you can get it with free postage - £9.49 otherwise) it's something I have no problem recommending. These items don't effect optical quality so it's not like buying a cheap filter. Bearing that in mind I don't see any reason for buying branded goods that'll cost anything up to 8x more (and that's just for a hood!)

Excellent purchase and great value for money

Good item and is suitable for the beginner/ amateur photographer. Easy yo fit and is good value for money.

Adapter ring fits filter three, lens hood the clips onto adaptor ring, hood can be reversed for storage in bag. This is a really nice and simple lens hood that really does the job well. Reasonably good quality for the price. Well worth buying if you want a good quality, well priced replacement for your branded lens hood.

Great set of items. All of very good quality and fit. May not be a 'brand' name but were excellent value and very usable.

Disappointing that the tulip hood is loose and turns around too easily

I'm very pleased with these hoods. They are easy to fit and secure when on camera. Seem to be of reasonable quality but time will tell if that is true. I did worry a little when ordering as the price seemed too good to be true but after receiving them I would classify them as a "good buy". I bought these for a winter holiday in Northern Canada where the reflections from the pristine snow and the low angle of the sun can present problems but I expect the hoods to perform well. If that proves to be the case I intend on my return to buy a second set for a different size lens. They definitely will be from the same guys!

This lens hood set was bought for a Nikon 35mm 1.8G ED full frame lens with 58mm thread. First the collapsible rubber lens hood :- Study design, thickness of rubber was ample, screw on to lens with no problem. Easy to fully extend and fully collapse but near enough impossible for it to remain in the "mid" position. On my 35mm lens when the lens hood is fully extended there is a slight amount of vignetting in corners and as I could not set the lens hood to the mid position I would suggest the rubber lens hood to be only used on lenses longer than 35mm. Now the Petal Shaped Plastic Lens Hood :- Solid nifty design. Has 2 components to it, the first is a adaptor ring that screws into the end of the lens or lens filter and remains on the lens all the time. This adaptor piece has a small groove all the way round it's circumference. The actual petal shaped lens hood has 4 tiny steel balls on the inside and these snap into position on the groove holding it in position but allowing it to rotate. When not in use you can just snap it out of the groove, reverse it so it is out of the way and then snap it back in so it is on your lens all the time if you wish. Very neat and tidy design. No problem with vignetting with petal shape hood on 35mm lens. On both the rubber and petal shaped hoods I had no issue with securing my original lens cap to either of them. Ordered item on Tuesday afternoon and received it Wednesday. Would highly recommend.

Ogni parte fa egregiamente il suo dovere. Massima resa con minima spesa. Consigliato

Ottimo prodotto, si adatta perfettamente alla reflex Canon EOS 750D. Il paraluce è reversibile quando non serve oppure bisogna mettere la macchina fotografica nella borsa basta girarlo, si sgancia e si gira mentre la ghiera metallica rimane vicino alla macchina. Ottimo il prezzo rispetto all'originale e arrivano a casa ben 3 pezzi molto utili tutti. Adesso bisogna solo provarlo e vedere come si comporta ma non penso ci siano problemi.

Ensemble sympa, commandé pour le pare soleil, puisque mon objectif de marque n'en a pas d'origine. Mais je trouve celui en cahoutchouc bien plus pratique encore, puisqu'il suffit de le pousser pour qu'il s'efface. Le couvercle avec l’élastique est également très sympa pour eviter d'avoir à chercher dans ses poches ou perdre son cache, là il reste à portée.

Un kit veramente ben fatto per il prezzo a cui viene proposto. Ho preso la misura 72mm per il sigma 18-300 e si adatta perfettamente. Abbastanza comodo il sistema di fissaggio con l'anello che si avvita al filtro. Il paraluce a petalo, se orientato a dovere non vignetta nemmeno alla focale minima (18mm). Fortemente consigliato, visti anche i prezzi a cui viene venduto il paraluce originale.

Exelente calidad, muy buen precio.
