BM 55mm and 58mm Digital Tulip Flower Lens Hood Compatible with D3500, D5600, D3400 DSLR Camera with Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-P DX and Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED

Professional Tulip Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light (flare) from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Screw-mount lens hoods, such as this 55mm, are designed to screw right into your lens or filter. Rear locking ring allows the user to rotate the hood in 360°direction. Why should you use lens hoods? Essentially, a lens hood acts to block out light that the lens shouldn’t be receiving, which can contribute to aberrations such as flare, particularly when shooting towards the light. Wide angle lenses, due to their expanded field of view, are naturally prone to gathering stray light, though the reduced field of view on standard and telephoto lenses means that for accuracy, the use of lens hoods is just as important.

• Fits all 55mm and 58mm lenses
• The addition of a lens hood can help prevent flares-those circles of light that can accompany images where a strong light source is just outside the frame. Lens hoods also have the added benefit of providing extra protection to your lens from accidental bumps or scratches.
• Professional tulip shape design (also known as 'flower' or 'petal' shape) allows for greater versatility. Perfect for standard or zoom lenses.
• Easy to use screw mount lens hood screws right onto your lens or filter. - Features a rear locking ring to allow user to rotate the hood in either direction and capture the exact amount of shading desired.
• NOTE: This lens hood is compatible with all 55mm and 58mm lenses. Please verify your camera's lens thread size before ordering. Your camera's lens thread size will be marked somewhere on the lens barrel or printed underneath your lens cap. This number is always preceded by a "Ø" (diameter) symbol. For example: Ø55 = 55mm lens thread size.
