The only metal hood here

CELLONIC Wide-angle, 46 mm, METAL, cylindrical

The only metal hood on this shelf: a 46 mm cylindrical wide-angle design, named for the 7Artisans 25 mm f/1.8, at 13 €.

CELLONIC metal lens hood in black on a small 46 mm prime lens

CELLONIC Wide-angle, 46 mm, METAL, cylindrical

The only metal hood on this shelf: a 46 mm cylindrical wide-angle design, named for the 7Artisans 25 mm f/1.8, at 13 €.

Shape
STATED, and in four words: round, cylindrical, tube — plus the title’s description of it as a WIDE-ANGLE hood. A cylindrical hood for a wide angle has to be shallow, which is exactly the compromise: it shades less than a deep hood and it never enters the frame
Lenses named
One, explicitly: the 7Artisans 25 mm f/1.8 with a 46 mm filter thread, in the fifth bullet, alongside a general claim covering camcorder, telephoto, macro and wide-angle lenses of that thread. Forty-six millimetres is a small thread, and naming a manual-focus prime tells you what kind of lens this is for
Fitting method
A 46 mm filter thread, named in the fourth and fifth bullets. On a cylindrical hood the thread is the right choice: there is no orientation to get wrong
Filter access

Reversibility

Material
METAL, in the fourth bullet — and it is the only metal hood on this shelf, where five are plastic, ABS or rubber and one is unstated. Metal costs more, weighs more and does not crack; it also dents rather than breaking, which is the failure you can keep shooting with

  • Metal, alone on this shelf — it dents rather than cracking
  • The shape stated outright, and a wide-angle design that stays out of the frame
  • A shallow cylindrical hood shades less than a deep or petal one

Best for: A small manual prime like the 7Artisans 25 mm f/1.8, where a metal hood matched to the lens beats a deeper plastic one.

On the listing

Five bullets in capitals. Shooting against sun and light — light hoods giving more contrast, more intense colours and higher image quality when shooting into the sun or other light sources; preventing unwanted reflections and improving depth of detail, stopping the lens flares that can hide decisive details; an attachment protecting the lens, serving as lens protection as well as improving image quality, offering light rain protection and shock resistance against knocks that would otherwise hit the lens; a compatibility note describing a round, cylindrical, tube-shaped hood — also called a lens hood, stray-light hood or sun cover — made of METAL, suiting camera lenses with a 46 mm filter thread including camcorder, telephoto, macro and wide-angle lenses; and a replacement bullet naming the 7Artisans 25 mm f/1.8 with a 46 mm filter thread.

Metal, and nothing else here is

Five hoods on this shelf are plastic, ABS or rubber. Metal dents where those crack, and a dented hood still works.

Cylindrical, and shallow on purpose

A wide lens sees almost everything ahead of it. The hood can only reach so far forward before its rim is in the corners, so this one stays short.

A named lens, not just a thread

The 7Artisans 25 mm f/1.8 is a small manual prime, the kind sold with no hood at all. Naming it means the geometry was checked against something real.

Light rain, and knocks

The third bullet gives the hood its second job. Water on the front element and a door frame are both things a hood meets before the glass does.

Forty-six millimetres, which is a small lens

Two hoods on this shelf are 58 mm and one is 67. This is for the compact primes.

  • HUIPUXIANG EW-73D petal hood on a Canon RF 24-105 mm lens

    HUIPUXIANG EW-73D replacement, 67 mm, with its exclusions

    Eleven euros for an EW-73D replacement that names three Canon zooms it fits and, unusually, three versions of those same lenses it does not.

    Shape
    Not stated in words. The EW-73D is Canon’s petal design for these lenses, and a replacement necessarily copies its geometry — but the page names the part rather than the shape
    Lenses named
    THREE, AND THE EXCLUSIONS — which is what makes this the most careful page on this shelf. Compatible: the Canon RF 24-105 mm F4-7.1 IS STM, the EF-S 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, and the RF 28-70 mm F2.8 IS STM. NOT compatible, stated in brackets: the RF 24-105 mm f/4L IS USM, and the EF-S 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and IS STM versions. Canon sells lenses whose names differ by three letters and whose front diameters differ, and this page is the one that draws the line
    Fitting method
    Not stated. As a replacement for the EW-73D it mounts as that part does — a bayonet — and the page does not say so

    Material
    High-grade ABS plastic, black, in the fourth bullet. The fifth adds the usual double duty: protecting the lens from accidental damage, and keeping outside light from spoiling the picture

    • Three compatible lenses named, and three incompatible versions named too
    • A Canon part number — EW-73D — so the fit is unambiguous
    • The shape is never named, only the part it replaces

    Best for: One of the three named Canon zooms — checking the exact version first, because two of them have siblings this hood does not fit.

  • JJC lens hood fitted to an Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150 mm zoom

    JJC LHJ61DBK, for M.Zuiko 40-150 mm, LH-61D replacement

    A dedicated hood for three named Olympus zooms in impact-resistant ABS, replacing the LH-61D for 11 €.

    Shape
    NOT STATED — which on a dedicated hood matters less than anywhere else on this shelf. A hood cut for one specific lens is shaped to that lens’s angle of view by design, whatever the page calls it: the maker has already done the geometry that a universal hood leaves to the buyer
    Lenses named
    THE MOST PRECISE ON THIS SHELF: three full designations — M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F4.0-5.6, M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F4-5.6 R, and Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F4.0-5.6 — plus the part it replaces, the Olympus LH-61D. Naming the original hood is the detail that settles compatibility beyond argument
    Fitting method
    Not stated. A hood sold as a replacement for a specific Olympus part fits the way that part did — a bayonet — but the page does not say so, and it is the one specification a dedicated hood should not have to leave out
    Filter access
    Not addressed. A bayonet hood mounts outside the filter thread rather than in it, so a filter usually stays fitted — but this page does not claim it
    Reversibility
    Not mentioned
    Material
    IMPACT-RESISTANT ABS, in the first bullet, with the second and third bullets crediting it with protection against accidental knocks for both camera and lens. The fourth adds rain and snow, which is the hood’s other job: it keeps water off the front element

  • YRTIYO black plastic lens hood threaded onto a 58 mm kit lens

    YRTIYO 58 mm, screw mount, plastic

    Five euros for a 58 mm screw-on hood for the Canon 18-55 mm kit lens — four bullets, one of which is the word "plastic".

    Shape
    NOT STATED. Neither petal, tulip, flower nor cylindrical appears in four bullets — and shape is the first thing this shelf compares, because it decides whether a hood works on a zoom. A cylindrical hood sized for 55 mm vignettes at 18; a petal hood is cut away at the corners precisely so it does not
    Lenses named
    One lens and nine bodies: the Canon EF-S 18-55 mm, with EOS 4000D, 3000D, 2000D, 90D, 80D, 77D, 250D, 1500D and 1300D. Naming the lens is what matters — a hood belongs to a focal length, not to a camera — and the fourth bullet widens it to all 58 mm lenses, which is a different and looser claim
    Fitting method
    SCREW MOUNTING, in the second bullet, described as easy to install and remove. A screw hood threads into the filter ring, which means it occupies the thread a filter would use — and turns to a random orientation, which matters on any hood that is not cylindrical
    Filter access
    NOT ADDRESSED. With the hood in the filter thread, whether a filter can sit underneath or in front is the question this page leaves unanswered
    Reversibility
    NOT MENTIONED. A hood that reverses over the barrel travels in the bag; one that does not is carried separately or left at home
    Material
    PLASTIC — three words in the third bullet, and that is the whole entry. Plastic is normal at 5 €; the 18 € Canon on this shelf publishes nothing more specific

    • Five euros, the cheapest on this shelf, for the commonest kit lens there is

Elsewhere in the camera bag

  • Walimex pro WT-806 light stand at full height with its spigot and carry bag

    Walimex pro WT-806, 102 to 256 cm, 6 kg, air-cushioned

    Two hundred and fifty-six centimetres and 6 kg for 39 €, with the only 5/8 inch spigot on this shelf and an air cushion that stops a section dropping on a hand.

    Maximum and minimum height
    102 to 256 cm, in the first bullet, described as a working height for studio and location. Two hundred and fifty-six centimetres puts it second here, 24 cm below the K&F and 46 cm above the EMART — and its 102 cm minimum is the least low of the four, so this stand does not work close to the ground
    Folded length
    Not published. The first bullet claims a compact packed size and a low weight without giving either figure, which the buying advice for this shelf calls the number people regret
    Section count
    Not published. The fifth bullet names high-grade metal locks and a solid build, and never says how many segments there are — though the third bullet implies several by describing the cushioning between them
    Spigot and thread sizes
    All three, and this is the only page here to name a spigot at all: a 5/8 inch spigot with a 1/4 inch thread, plus a 3/8 inch adapter supplied. The hub above calls the 16 mm stud the studio convention and notes that 5/8 inch names the same thing — so this is the one stand on the shelf that takes a softbox bracket or a studio head as designed
    Declared load
    6 kg, in the fourth bullet, credited to a stable aluminium construction and named for studio flashes, LED lights and softboxes. It is the strongest figure on this shelf, and it is matched by the fitting: 6 kg on a 5/8 inch spigot is a coherent pair, where 5 kg on a 1/4 inch screw is not
    Leg spread
    Not published as a figure. The fifth bullet claims a wide footing increasing stability on various surfaces, without a diameter
    Material
    Reinforced aluminium tubes with sturdy legs and high-grade metal locks, in the fourth and fifth bullets. No weight is published anywhere

    • A 5/8 inch spigot with a 1/4 inch thread and a 3/8 inch adapter — the only studio fitting on this shelf
    • Six kilograms declared, the strongest figure here, and 256 cm of height
    • No folded length, no weight, no section count and no footprint published

    Best for: A studio head or a softbox on a proper stand, where the spigot, the 6 kg rating and the air cushion matter and the stand stays in one room.

  • K&F Concept variable ND filter with its knurled trapezoid-patterned ring

    K&F CONCEPT 67 mm variable, ND2-400, 1 to 9 stops, 7.4 mm

    One to nine stops on a variable 67 mm filter for 29 €, in Japanese AGC glass — from a page that tells you not to fit it to a lens wider than 35 mm.

    Strength
    1 to 9 stops, in the title and the first and fourth bullets, named for long exposures and motion blur in changing light. Nine stops turns a 1/250 second exposure into two seconds — the difference between frozen water and a smooth sheet
    Notations given
    BOTH, in the title: ND2-400 and 1-9 f-stops. The two notations describe the same thing from opposite ends — ND2 passes half the light and ND400 a four-hundredth — and publishing both saves the arithmetic. The hub above asks for exactly this, and the 186 € NiSi here gives ND0.3-1.5 instead, a third notation again
    Fixed or variable construction
    VARIABLE, and both filters on this shelf are. A variable ND is two polarising layers rotated against each other, which is why it costs less than nine separate filters and why it has the failure the hub above warns about at the extremes
    Thread size
    67 mm, in the title
    Stated colour cast
    NOT ADDRESSED. The second bullet claims intense colours and high contrast from Japanese AGC glass; neutrality is never claimed and no cast is denied. On a variable ND that is the specification most worth having — the 186 € NiSi here sells its True Color coating precisely on preventing a yellow tint
    Coatings
    Not counted. Japanese AGC glass is named in the second bullet and no layer count appears, where the same maker publishes eighteen layers on its UV and polarising filters
    Frame thickness
    7.4 mm, in the third bullet, described as very slim with a CNC trapezoid pattern that raises friction so it can be fitted or removed anywhere. Seven point four millimetres is thicker than any polariser on this shelf, which is inherent: a variable ND holds two rotating elements
    Amazon reference
    B09BCJ6N8G (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6936069271669
    • Two notations published — ND2-400 and 1-9 stops — so no conversion is needed
    • A published 7.4 mm frame with a CNC pattern for grip
    • No colour cast claim either way, on a variable ND

    Best for: A 67 mm standard or telephoto lens used for long exposures in changing light, where nine stops in one filter beats carrying four.

  • NiSi True Color variable ND filter with its knurled ring and click-stop markings

    NiSi True Color VND, 82 mm, 1 to 5 stops, no X

    One to five stops in five clicks with no X effect, a coating sold on neutrality and vignetting-free use at 16 mm — the variable ND that trades range for quality, at 186 €.

    Strength
    1 to 5 stops, in the title — deliberately HALF the range of the 29 € K&F here, and the restriction is the point. A variable ND misbehaves at its extremes; stopping at five keeps the filter inside the range where two polarisers still darken evenly
    Notations given
    A THIRD system: ND0.3 to ND1.5 in optical DENSITY, alongside stops in the title. Density is logarithmic — 0.3 is one stop, 1.5 is five — and it is the notation used on cinema filters. Between this page, the K&F’s ND2-400 and the stop figures, this shelf carries three ways of saying the same thing, which is why the hub above asks which notation is given
    Fixed or variable construction
    VARIABLE with FIVE DEFINED CLICK-STOPS, in the second bullet — and clicks are what a variable ND usually lacks. A continuous ring cannot be returned to the same setting twice; five detents mean the third stop is the third stop on every shot of a sequence
    Thread size
    82 mm, in the title — the largest thread in this catalogue, and the size the buying advice above says to buy for and step down from
    Stated colour cast
    ADDRESSED DIRECTLY, alone on this shelf: the first bullet says the exclusive True Color coating prevents the yellow cast common to other brands and guarantees absolutely neutral reproduction with no colour falsification. On a variable ND the yellowing at strong settings is the defect people complain about, and this is the page that names it
    Coatings
    UP TO TWENTY anti-reflective layers, in the third bullet, with double-sided water- and oil-resistant coatings. Fewer than the thirty the NEEWER polariser on this site publishes; more than the unnumbered coating of the 29 € K&F here
    Frame thickness
    NOT PUBLISHED as a figure. What the fourth bullet gives instead is the engineering: a LARGER FRONT THREAD to avoid vignetting at 16 mm, and a matt black interior to absorb stray light. Sixteen millimetres is a specific, checkable claim, where the K&F here says not below 35
    Amazon reference
    B09K57XSZS (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6972949372941
    • No X effect, stated explicitly — the failure a variable ND is known for
    • Five defined click-stops, so a setting can be returned to exactly
    • One to five stops, half the range of the 29 € K&F

    Best for: Video and wide-angle landscape work where the filter has to stay neutral, return to a known setting, and work at 16 mm.
