Why Use a Lens Hood?
A lens hood is one of the most cost-effective accessories a photographer can own. It shields the front element of your lens from direct light sources that fall outside your frame, dramatically reducing flare and ghosting in your images. It also adds a layer of physical protection to the front of your lens against accidental knocks and bumps.
