The dedicated Vello HR-2 Lens Hood (52mm Screw-On) is specifically designed for use with Nikon's 55mm f/1.2 Ai, 50mm f/1.4 AF, 50mm f/1.8 AF & 50mm f/1.8D AF lenses. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
This lens hood features anti-reflective ridges on its interior.
Designed to accommodate the exact angle of view of the camera's lens
Minimizes flare and ghosting by blocking out stray light
