  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

  • 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.

  CELLONIC Vertical grip for Nikon D40 to D5000, portrait release

  Thirty-eight euros for a true vertical grip for five Nikon bodies, with a portrait shutter release and a spare cell — and no mention of dials, threads or weight.

  Bodies named

  FIVE, in the first bullet: the Nikon D5000, D3000, D60, D40 and D40x, for EN-EL9 and EN-EL9E cells — and the part-number field names the Nikon MB-D60, the original grip this copies. Naming the original is the clearest compatibility statement available

  Cells carried and reporting

  A SPARE BATTERY is included, in the fifth bullet, for longer sessions and continuous use. How many cells the grip holds, and whether the camera reads them individually, is not stated — which on a grip is the specification a photographer checks first

  Duplicated controls

  A SHUTTER RELEASE FOR PORTRAIT-FORMAT SHOOTING, in the third bullet — and that is what makes this a grip rather than a battery holder. What it does NOT claim is what the 58 € ayex here does: command dials, an AF-ON button, an exposure lock. One duplicated control, named

  Sealing claims

  None

  Tripod thread position

  NOT DESCRIBED. A vertical grip bolts into the camera’s own tripod socket and must provide a replacement underneath, or the camera cannot go on a tripod at all. The page never mentions it, on a product whose whole installation depends on that thread

  Published weight

  None

  Amazon reference

  B0BM9RT2D6 (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)

  EAN

  4063714126004

  • A genuine portrait-format shutter release, and the MB-D60 named as its pattern
  • Five Nikon bodies listed individually, with both EN-EL9 cell types
  • No tripod thread described, on a grip that occupies the camera’s own

  Best for: A Nikon D40 through D5000 shot in portrait format for hours — weddings, portraits — where the wrist should stay straight.
