Dedicated to the Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA lens, the ALC-SH129 Lens Hood helps to minimize flare by deflecting stray light from entering the lens. The cap-style hood also provides additional protection to the lens from accidental impacts, bumps, or scratching. It is offered here as a spare or replacement for the hood originally included with the lens.

Fits my lens perfectly.
This hood fits and works perfectly with the RX1R / RX1R-II, unsurprising since the FE 35mm 2.8 and the 35mm f2 on the RX1 are practically the same lens except for a stop difference in brightness. The hood is *slightly* tighter fitting on the RX1R but it doesnt feel like it will break anything. Give it a slightly harder twist to lock it on, and it looks like a natural part of the camera. This hood makes much more sense than the official absurdly priced rangefinder-style hood Sony sells for the RX1, as its much more compact, provides shade and superior protection for the lens, can take a filter behind the hood (49mm) and on the hood itself (40.5mm), and serves as a lens cap. (Sold separately, get a 40.5mm cap to cover the front of the hood when not in use. The FE 35mm 2.8 comes with both.) Oh also this is like 1/5 the price. Only downside? The text is wrong for the RX1 saying its a f2.8 instead of f2 but whatever. Get one if you have an RX1. Surprised Sony doesnt cross-sell it as an option for the RX1 natively.
