58MM Lens Hood Set (Tulip Flower + Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood)

Using the hoods on a Canon18 55 lens. Tulip is sturdy and fits well over a filter. Lenses cap would not snap in. I hav 20 or so Canon lens caps, so I will try another. Rubber hood is great! Fits well over filter and lens cap. Has three positions : telephoto , wide and macro. There is a slight vignette at 18, but can be adjusted out. I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality of these hoods! Thanks, Altura!

This is an excellent lens hood combo. The collapsible hood is the best. The soft rubber outside give excellent shade and drop protection. The rubber is matched up with hard plastic so the screw on to the lens is tight and will not pop off after being brushed against something. I can't say enough good things about this .. it really is nice. The tulip flower is hard plastic and has good form, it does what it was designed to do. Great combo set for the price .. a must buy!

I purchased this lens hood for a YONGNUO YN35mm F2 Lens 1:2 AF / MF Wide-Angle Fixed/Prime Auto Focus Lens For Nikon DSLR Cameras that I intend to use often with my Nikon D700. The only reason for me to buy it was because the recommended hood for this lens went up over $10 in a couple of days, and this one looked like a good deal (two hoods for the price of one). Well... there are some pros and cons, and the jury is still out. One of the hoods is a collapsible, rubber thing that has three positions: completely down, half-way, and fully extended. If it's used in the fully extended position it causes some annoying vignetting (which I feared), but in the middle, the vignetting disappears. However, one must be wary about it because the inside of the hood seems slightly shiny. Then comes the tulip shaped hood, which has a front that can be lined up so that the petals are in a pius-sign position. First, it's a bit difficult to make the thread pitches meet and screw the hood, and once they get together, they're very tight. Since the tulip hood is smaller, the chances of vignetting are lower, but they're still there. That's my reason for the four-star review. Otherwise I'd give it a 5-star rating. I am planning on using the rubber hood for now, because it's flexible and it may not break easily. The tulip hood looks definitely cooler and interesting, but since I'm on the side of practicality, I'll see the results I get from using the rubber hood. If I find myself having to adjust it constantly because it's been collapsed all the way in, I may reverse my decision and use the plastic hood. We'll see... I have some months to evaluate before revisiting this review and writing my update.

It came quickly, and very well packaged. I had doubts for these lens hoods due to the low price tag, but all in all, they are great. Both of them. I use the Tulip Flower one more, just because I like it, but its all about opinion. They are quality lens hoods, and they work better than you would believe. And in my opinion, it gives your camera a little more of a professional look as well. It also comes with a nice little cleaner for you lenses or whatever else you need. This is of great value because it comes with two lenses, which would be around $20 elsewhere. I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend of anybody.

Nothing fancy and seems fairly durable so far. I really like the collapsible lens hood concept. I doubt it will protect the lens quite like a hard plastic hood would if the camera were dropped, but that isn't my primary purpose for purchasing this item.

I mostly use lens hoods as a way to protect my lens when I'm out and about with it, and hadn't ever actually purchased one before (the one I was replacing, which finally broke after many years of rough use, was given to me), so I had no idea what to look for when replacing it. I think this set is okay, but I found these both kind of awkward to deal with. They both screw on the end of your lens, so it's not quick to take them off and on, and you can't just flip them around and turn them backwards on the lens when you're storing your camera, like I did with my old one. (It had a spring system that let you easily clip it around the end of the lens, rather than threading it.) So I have to find a space in my camera bag to store them, and they're just kind of more of a pain than I'd figured on. I also can't get my lens cap back on when these are mounted, which I'm not sure if I should be able to or not, but I wish I could. :D Certainly didn't hurt to try them, and the price is great, but when I pull out my camera I find myself leaving these behind more often than not, so I'm going to look instead for something more similar to my old hood, that would be easier to use.

**UPDATE** On their own accord, the seller emailed me in response to my review. They offered me a full refund on my purchase for the inconvenience. I still stand by my review and I still do recommend these hoods but I will definitely recommend this seller. So thank you. I have a love/hate relationship with these. I love the fact that they do exactly what they say but the quality just isn’t really there. The tulip feels like cheap plastic that’ll break if even bumped. The other hood is flimsy rubber that attracts every dog hair within a 5 mile radius. Also, the lens caps will not attach to either hood so if you’re like me and like switching lenses a lot, it gets very time consuming taking the hoods off just to cover the lens. The threading isn’t easy to thread either. It skips a lot before it’ll finally thread. Now, with alllllllll of that said, if you’re looking for a super cheap hood, these will work I recommend them to any beginner or amateur photographer.

I use both of these on a Fuji SL1000 wit a filter adapter and both work great. The tulip hood shows some vignetting with lens un-zoomed; sometimes a simple twist works to correct, but mostly I zoom slightly and that corrects the problem. All in all, I am very pleased with the set and will give them a full work out on my next photo outing.

Fit perfect at a way lower price than the brand names. One downside, you can't thread anything to the front of the flower lens hood which I think you can do with some.

It’s great for beginners and also for the price.

These two lens'hoods are exactly what I expected. Good quality, mount easily and perfectly on the camera. Thank you Goja and Amazon.

great product. fit the t3 like a charm
