“But there are always stresses and setbacks in preparation for, and during, a photoshoot (eg. dealing with reflections and glare, properly protecting gear, etc.). Those setbacks get in the way of our goal. Sometimes even a setback is so great (not having anything proper to block glare or reflection or remove the dark spots or vignetting in post processing) that it prevents us from getting the shot altogether.”
“UNIVERSAL IN FORM – the camera lens hood stretches to fit over any sized lens… meaning less gear and more room. UNIVERSAL IN FUNCTION Collapses down to work with any focal length… meaning no more dark spots or vignetting in the corners of the frame.”
The Universal camera lens hood is available in two sizes depending on your camera lens diameter, fitting then sockets from 54 to 76 mm via the small lens hood and 72 to 112 mm in the medium.
