LEE Filters Parassol de Lente - Grande Angular

Comments about LEE Filters Lens Hood - Wide Angle:

My main concern before buying this hood is if it would be wide enough not to vignette my widest lens, a Nikkor 12-24mm f4 at 12mm on a DX format camera. The hood does not vignette and there are adjustments to spare even with this very wide lens.

The attachment method to the lens adapter rings needs to be improved as for now all that is keeping the hood attached to the ring is a weak spring wedge. At first I tried screwing the brass knob thinking it would tighten the hood onto the lens adapter ring but all I ended up doing was unscrewing the wedge from the screw…. The lens hood is very large and can be easily knocked off the lens adapter ring, maybe this is a good thing as it keeps it from damaging the lens?

I purchased the Wide Angle lens adapter rings in 77mm and 62mm. The rings are well made but had a shine even though they were black. I used some flat black paint to dull the surface facing out. I do not use any LEE filters so I got the hood without filter slots.

I have used this hood successfully on a Nikkor 12-24mm f4, Nikkor 20mm and Nikkor PC-e 24mm. I cut a proportional rectangle (sizes to the 4:3 format) out of black matte board and attached to the front of the hood to act as an "eyebrow".
