It names its own two limits

K&F CONCEPT 58 mm petal, screw mount, matt interior

A petal hood with a matt interior for 8 € — and a page that tells you it vignettes below 25 mm and will not take a filter underneath.

K&F CONCEPT 58 mm petal, screw mount, matt interior

A petal hood with a matt interior for 8 € — and a page that tells you it vignettes below 25 mm and will not take a filter underneath.

Shape
PETAL, in the title — the scalloped shape whose corners are cut away so a wide frame does not see them. It is the shape the hub above compares first, and it is the only page on this shelf to name it apart from the 11 € CAMKIX, which supplies one alongside two rubber hoods
Lenses named
NONE individually. The sixth bullet claims every 58 mm Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus and Fuji lens — a thread rather than a lens, which is honest for a universal hood and less useful than the named Olympus of the 11 € JJC here. A petal hood on an unspecified lens is a compromise: the scallops are cut for one angle of view, not for all of them
Fitting method
SCREW MOUNTING, in the second bullet, described as more secure than the alternative. On a petal hood a screw mount is a real drawback: the scallops must align with the corners of the frame, and a thread stops wherever friction stops it
Filter access
REFUSED, and the page says so itself: the fourth bullet states it cannot be mounted together with a filter. That is the clearest statement on this shelf and a genuine limitation — a UV or polarising filter and this hood cannot both be on the lens
Reversibility
Not mentioned
Material
Not named. What IS named is the surface that matters: a MATT INTERIOR, in the fifth bullet, credited with preventing or limiting stray light from direct light on the front of the lens. A shiny hood interior reflects light into the lens and undoes the hood’s purpose

  • A petal shape, and a matt interior named as the reason it works
  • Two limits stated by the maker: 25 mm vignetting, and no filter underneath
  • A screw mount on a petal hood, which cannot be aligned reliably

Best for: A 58 mm lens at 25 mm or longer, used without a filter, where a matt-lined petal hood for 8 € is the point.

On the listing

Six bracketed bullets. An important note asking the buyer to check the thread size before ordering, printed on the lens barrel or under the lens cap, and stating the hood suits 58 mm lenses only; thread installation, the hood turning onto the lens by its thread, described as more secure; function, improving image quality and protecting the lens by preventing unwanted light or glare entering; a note that it is not suitable for wide-angle shots, producing vignetting at focal lengths of 25 mm or less, and cannot be mounted with a filter; reduced flare, the matt inside of the hood preventing or limiting stray light from direct light at the front of the lens; and wide compatibility with all 58 mm Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus and Fuji lenses.

A petal shape, and a matt inside

Two of the specifications this shelf compares, both answered. The scallops keep the hood out of a wide frame; the matt surface keeps the hood from reflecting light back in.

Twenty-five millimetres, stated by the maker

Not a review finding: the fourth bullet. Below 25 mm it vignettes, and the page says so before the purchase rather than after.

No filter, either

The hood and a screw-in filter want the same thread. The page refuses the combination outright, which is more use than silence.

A thread on a shaped hood

The scallops have to meet the corners of the frame. A screw stops where friction stops it, and a bayonet would not.

Where the thread size is printed

On the barrel, or under the cap. The first bullet spends itself on the commonest mistake in buying any screw-on accessory.

Availability

About 8 € on the German Amazon store when this page was last checked.

The American and British Amazon stores carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

On the Italian and Spanish Amazon stores the asking prices sit more than 1.6× above the cheapest country. A difference that wide usually means a reshipper rather than a seller on the ground, so they are kept out of the figures above.

Listed in the French Amazon catalogue with nothing on sale against the entry: the camera has a page there and no seller behind it.

More lens hoods

  • CamKix set of two rubber collapsible hoods, a tulip hood and a lens cap

    CAMKIX Two rubber collapsible hoods plus a petal, 55 mm

    Eleven euros for two collapsible rubber hoods with three positions each, a tulip petal hood and a cap — the only hood here that can live on the lens permanently.

    Shape
    TWO, which is the point of the pack: two collapsible RUBBER hoods, cylindrical when extended, and one TULIP PETAL hood the fourth bullet names for wide-angle lenses, describing it as giving maximum shading without vignetting. Buying the two shapes together is how the shelf’s first question gets answered by having both
    Lenses named
    None individually — any 55 mm thread. The first bullet does the useful thing instead: it tells the buyer to verify the lens thread size before ordering and says the ⌀ value is on the front of the lens or under the cap
    Fitting method
    A thread, implied by 55 mm compatibility and never stated as such. On a rubber hood the thread matters less: the body flexes, so an imperfect orientation is absorbed
    Filter access
    Not addressed, though a cap is included — which suggests the cap fits the hood’s own front rather than the lens beneath it
    Reversibility
    SOMETHING BETTER: the third bullet describes a rubber hood that folds out in THREE STEPS for different levels of shading and collapses fully flat — so, in its own words, it can be left on the lens and is therefore always available. A hood that never comes off is a hood that gets used, which is the whole problem with hoods
    Material
    RUBBER for the two collapsible hoods, in the title and the first bullet. Rubber is the material that makes the three-step folding possible, and it also absorbs a knock that would crack ABS. The petal hood’s material is not named

    • A rubber hood that collapses flat and can stay on the lens permanently
    • Three extension steps, so the shading suits the focal length in use
    • No individual lens named, so the petal’s scallops are cut for no particular angle

    Best for: A 55 mm lens used across a zoom range, where a hood that folds flat and never leaves the lens beats a deeper one left in a drawer.

  • Canon ES-68 lens hood, black, upright on a white surface

    Canon ES-68, for EF lenses — three bullets in total

    Eighteen euros for Canon’s own ES-68 hood, whose specification consists of three words — the emptiest page on this shelf and the only one from the lens maker.

    Shape
    NOT STATED. The ES-68 is Canon’s own cylindrical hood for its EF 50 mm f/1.8 STM, but nothing on the page says so — not the shape, not the lens, not the diameter
    Lenses named
    NONE. The title says "für EF Objektive" — for EF lenses — and the EF mount covers hundreds of lenses across thirty years, of which the ES-68 fits one. It is the loosest compatibility statement on this shelf, from the only maker on it that built the lens
    Fitting method
    Not stated. Canon’s ES-68 is a bayonet hood, and the page does not say
    Filter access
    Not addressed
    Reversibility
    Not mentioned — on a hood that does reverse over the barrel
    Material
    NOT NAMED. Three bullets exist: durable; flexible design; quality/durability. That is the whole listing, and not one of the three words is a specification

    • Canon’s own part, so the fit on the lens it was made for is exact
    • The part number ES-68 identifies it beyond doubt for anyone who knows it
    • Three bullets, none of which is a specification

    Best for: A Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 STM, bought by part number because the page will not tell you anything else.

  • 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
    Not addressed
    Reversibility
    Not mentioned
    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

    4250843496607
    • 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.

Elsewhere in the camera bag

  • NiSi True Color CPL filter with its knurled frame and blackened glass edge

    NiSi True Color CPL, 77 mm, 20 layers, Cine Sealed

    A hundred and two euros for a polariser whose coating is sold on colour neutrality and whose glass edges are blackened and sealed against condensation.

    Thread size
    77 mm, in the title — the largest on this shelf, and the size the buying advice above says to standardise on, since a step ring brings it down to everything smaller
    Type
    CIRCULAR, in the title. The hub above puts circular versus linear first for a reason: only the circular kind leaves autofocus and metering working
    Light loss stated
    NOT STATED in stops. The first bullet claims 99.9 per cent of light reflections eliminated — the same figure the 28 € NEEWER here publishes — and the exposure penalty a polariser imposes is absent from all four pages on this shelf
    Coating description
    TWENTY layers, in the third bullet, including an ULTRA-LOW-REFLECTION layer specified at 0.2 PER CENT, with double-sided water- and oil-repellent coatings for easy cleaning and scratch resistance. Fewer layers than the thirty of the NEEWER; the difference on this page is what the coating is claimed to preserve rather than how many there are
    Frame thickness
    NOT PUBLISHED — the one number this page omits, at 102 €. The fifth bullet claims no vignetting even on wide-angle lenses and gives no millimetres, where the 18 € K&F publishes 5.3 mm and the 28 € NEEWER 5.9 mm. What IS named is a matt black interior coating in the second bullet, to absorb stray light inside the frame
    Rotation mechanism
    A KNURLED frame — gerändelter Rahmen — in the fifth bullet, described as giving grip for quick mounting and removal. That is about fitting rather than turning; the 28 € NEEWER here is the page that describes the rotation itself
    Amazon reference
    B09XQXPG3C (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6972949374020
    • A coating sold on colour neutrality, with the yellow cast of other filters named as the problem
    • Cine Sealed blackened glass edges, credited with preventing condensation
    • No frame thickness published, at 102 €

    Best for: Work where the polariser must not tint the image — video graded across shots, or landscape work in mixed light — and where condensation on a cold morning is a real risk.

  • PROfezzion 58 mm circular polariser with its rotating ring and case

    PROfezzion 58 mm CPL, twelve layers

    Twelve coating layers on a 58 mm circular polariser for 16 € — from a page whose fourth bullet gives the thread as 52 mm and explains where to check it.

    Thread size
    58 mm in the title — AND 52 mm in the fourth bullet, which says the filter fits any lens with a 52 mm thread. The same bullet then explains, usefully, that the correct size is printed on the lens after a ⌀ symbol. The title and the part number PF-58CPL agree on 58; the bullet is the odd one out, and the ⌀ on the lens settles it
    Type
    CIRCULAR, in the title and throughout. The hub above treats circular versus linear as the first question: a circular polariser keeps autofocus and metering working on a modern camera, and a linear one does not
    Light loss stated
    NOT STATED. A polariser costs light — commonly one and a half to two stops — and no page on this shelf publishes the figure. The hub above asks for it in stops, and four filters here leave it out
    Coating description
    TWELVE layers, multi-coated, in the third bullet, credited with reducing reflection and named for outdoor and landscape work over water, sky and plants. The same count as the maker’s UV filter on this site
    Frame thickness
    Not published — where the same maker publishes 3 mm on its UV filter. On a polariser the frame is necessarily thicker, because it has to rotate, and that makes the missing figure more significant rather than less
    Rotation mechanism
    Not described. A polariser is used by turning it, and how the ring turns — knurled, geared, stiff, smooth — is the whole ergonomics of the thing. The 28 € NEEWER on this shelf describes straight knurling and smooth rotation; this page is silent

    EAN
    6940202350500
    • Twelve multi-coating layers, on named Japanese glass in an aviation-aluminium frame
    • A bullet that explains where the thread size is printed, after the ⌀ symbol
    • The title says 58 mm and the fourth bullet says 52 mm

    Best for: A 58 mm lens used over water and foliage, where twelve coating layers for 16 € matter more than a published stop figure.

  • NEEWER 67 mm CPL filter showing its knurled rotating ring and case

    NEEWER 67 mm CPL, 99.9 per cent, 30 layers, 5.9 mm

    Thirty coating layers, reflection under 0.1 per cent and a published 5.9 mm magnalium frame — the only polariser here that describes how its ring turns.

    Thread size
    67 mm, in the title and the fifth bullet, supplied with a protective case and a cleaning cloth
    Type
    CIRCULAR, in the title, built on what the first bullet calls an imported polarising film. Circular is what keeps autofocus and metering intact, as the hub above explains
    Light loss stated
    NOT STATED — no figure in stops, as on all four polarisers here. What this page does publish is the other side of the transaction: 99.9 per cent of reflections from non-metallic surfaces eliminated, and a minimum light reflection of under 0.1 per cent off the filter’s own surfaces. Both are real numbers; neither is the exposure penalty the hub above asks for
    Coating description
    THIRTY LAYERS of polarising film on both sides of the filter, in the second and third bullets — the highest count on this shelf — with four properties named: water-repellent, oil-repellent, antistatic and scratch-resistant. The same bullet claims ultraviolet blocking from 300 to 380 nm, which is a stated waveband rather than a vague claim
    Frame thickness
    PUBLISHED, and in two parts: an ultra-thin 5.9 mm frame in MAGNALIUM ALLOY, plus a 3.8 mm front bezel that the fourth bullet says effectively prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The 18 € K&F here is thinner overall at 5.3 mm; this is the only page that separates the frame from the bezel
    Rotation mechanism
    DESCRIBED — alone on this shelf. The fourth bullet gives black anodised threads with precision machining for effortless installation, and straight wheels for smooth rotation. A polariser is operated by turning it, and this is the one page that treats the turning as a specification
    Amazon reference
    B09HGHKN2R (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0191073121478
    • Thirty coating layers, with reflection under 0.1 per cent and a stated 300-380 nm UV band
    • The only description of a rotation mechanism on this shelf
    • No light loss in stops, as everywhere on this shelf

    Best for: A 67 mm lens whose polariser gets turned constantly — landscapes, water, glass — where a smooth ring and a wipeable coating earn the extra 10 €.
