What sets the Sony Lens Hood ALC-SH182 apart
The lens hood is precisely matched to the angle of view of the SEL2870GM. Unlike universal rubber hoods, it offers custom-tailored protection without vignetting. The petal-shaped construction effectively blocks stray light without restricting the field of view. Thanks to its low weight of only 170 g, the hood can remain mounted on the lens without any issues, even during long handheld shots.
Ideal for demanding photography in challenging light conditions
Whether for backlit portraits, landscapes with a low sun, architectural shots with harsh shadows, or studio work with flash – the lens hood delivers contrast-rich and clear images. It is an indispensable accessory for any photographer aiming for professional results even in difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, it protects the front lens element from rain or splashes.
How to use the lens hood ALC-SH182
Simply place the hood on the filter thread of the lens and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. For safe storage, the hood can be mounted in reverse on the lens. Attachment is tool-free and takes seconds. Ensure the hood is correctly oriented – the petal-shaped cutouts should be at the top and bottom for optimal stray light blocking.
