Veatree 52mm Lens Hood Set, Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood with Filter Thread + Reversible Tulip Flower Lens Hood + Center Pinch Lens Cap + Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth

This little kit has arrived today so just 1st impressions for now. If I find any problems over the next few months I'll leave an update. What's in the kit: 1. Rubber lens hood which screws straight onto your lens/filter and has 3 positions depending on how much light you're having to control. The rubber is thinner than a branded version but absolutely works fine and bounces back to circular if it happens to get a bit squashed. 2. Hard petal type hood which is reversible for carrying/storage; the way this works is that the hood pops off a ring that screws into your lens/filter (see picture of tiny ballbearing mechanism of which there are 4 spaced evenly). Getting the hood on/off requires a simple push and has no 'play' once engaged. 3. Lens cap with lanyard. Smooth mechanism although for some with larger fingers the design of the part one would 'pinch' does not have a lip under which one might place the fingertips for better purchase. The lanyard is fitted by inserting the thin, but strong, cable through a small hole in the cap. What looks like a sim card tool is supplied for this purpose. Fiddly but manageable and the metal tool does not damage the cable. The other end is an elasticated loop which is quite small (a good thing) that can either stretch over your lens or tied in the traditional method to the camera lug/strap. 4. Fibre cloth which is about the size of something you might get from your optician. Always handy. Overall the quality appears to be good and the item solidly made and for £7.99 (if you can get it with free postage - £9.49 otherwise) it's something I have no problem recommending. These items don't effect optical quality so it's not like buying a cheap filter. Bearing that in mind I don't see any reason for buying branded goods that'll cost anything up to 8x more (and that's just for a hood!)

great product for the price

Articolo molto ben realizzato, offre due paraluce a seconda delle proprie esigenze L'innesto a scatto (tramite quattro palline caricate a molla) lo rende veloce da applicare, e cosa molto importante che molti produttori non consentono, è quello di montare il coprilente con il paraluce installato! ⬆️Paraluce in plastica ma leggero ed efficace ⬆️L'anello fornito per il montaggio è in metallo e permette l'installazione di altri filtri ⬆️Orientabile a 360 gradi ⬆️ Velocità di installazione top, guardate il video ⬆️Tappo copri lente installabile anche con paraluce presente (sia "aperto" che "chiuso") ⬆️Include panno pulisci lente, tappo compatibile, laccetto porta tappo ❌ Paraluce in gomma in posizione totalmente estesa NON consigliato per obiettivi più corti di 30mm (effetto vignettatura, lieve ma presente), perfetto invece quello a petalo Giudizio finale estremamente positivo, la controparte originale costa 50€, non orientabile. Lo comprerò per tutte le mie lenti, visto costo e praticità!

Pour quasi le 1/3 du prix de l'original, je recommande. Système judicieux pour permettre de mettre et enlever le pare soleil. Celui-ci est en plastic qui paraît solide. En plus on en a un deuxième en caoutchouc qui se visse sur l'objetif.En bonus un cache et un chiffon pour l'objectif..

The design is there. I like that you can collapse and expand based on your needs. It goes on easy enough. My only problem is that when you have it fully extended- it gets very flimsy and can droop into the shot so you have to try and prop it up with your hand to keep it out of the way.
