Sony Sony Lens Hood for SEL55210 - Black - ALCSH115

The Sony ALCSH115 Lens Hood is a dedicated accessory designed specifically for use with the Sony SEL55210 lens (model E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS). This petal-shaped hood is constructed from durable black plastic and serves the primary function of blocking stray light from entering the lens, which helps to prevent lens flare and ghosting, thereby improving image contrast and color saturation. By shielding the front lens element, it also offers protection against accidental impacts, scratches, and fingerprints. The hood attaches directly to the lens filter thread and features a secure, bayonet-style mount for easy installation and removal. Its petal design is optimized for the lens's angle of view, minimizing vignetting while providing maximum shading effectiveness. This is an official Sony accessory that ensures perfect compatibility and fit with the designated lens model.
