46mm Screw-on Metal Lens Hood

This 46mm screw-on metal lens hood improves contrast and reduces flare for mirrorless and DSLR lenses with 46mm filter threads. It suits everyday shooting where stray light can wash out colours, and it keeps the front element safer from knocks while still allowing a filter or lens cap to be fitted.

Key points

Made from anodised aluminium with a non-glare matte interior, the hood is built to deflect unwanted light and limit internal reflections. According to the manufacturer it causes no vignetting when used at the recommended focal lengths, and its screw-on design stays secure during normal use. A simple, durable accessory that helps maintain image clarity outdoors and in mixed lighting.

Usage tips

Screw the hood onto lenses with a 46mm thread and extend the effective shading beyond the lens barrel. It performs best on lenses at 50mm or longer on full frame bodies and from 28mm on APS-C cameras, so check your focal length before relying on it for wide angles. It’s a practical choice when shooting in bright conditions or near reflective surfaces, though bear in mind that very wide-angle setups may still show some edge shading.

What’s included

The pack contains the metal screw-on hood only, allowing you to attach filters or a cap without removing the hood. Lightweight yet robust, it offers straightforward protection and optical benefit without adding bulk.
