This Lens Shade for Batis 18mm f/2.8 Lens from ZEISS is a replacement dedicated lens hood for the original that is included with the lens. Dedicated lens hoods are designed for the specific focal length of their lens and block unwanted light from entering the camera to reduce unwanted flare. They also help protect the lens against accidental smudges and impact.

I purchased a second-hand Batis 18 and needed a replacement shade. The price charged by Zeiss for this is ridiculous, yet typical of the industry. Despite the price the shade works as advertised and fits well, both in the operational and reversed (stowed) positions.
The Product as good as its describe. Good packaging, flawless. Tq
