Key Features
- For Nikon 55mm f/1.2 Ai, 50mm f/1.4 AF, 50mm f/1.8 AF & 50mm f/1.8D AF Lenses
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.

question
will it fir the cannon T3i?
The Vello HR-2 Dedicated Lens Hood (52mm Screw-On) is designed to fit into the filter threads of your lens, not onto your camera body. As such, I would need to know which lens you own, or what filter threads it uses (not which camera you own) in order to confirm or deny if the lens hood would be compatible for your equipment. As the lens or filter thread size was not listed above, I cannot properly answer your inquiry. However, you may send an e-mail to askbh@bhphotovideo.com with your inquiry, along with the model of your lens or its filter thread size, and we will see if the lens hood is compatible with your lens.
