Lens hood
I know this may be a somewhat stupid question. I'm wondering who makes the best lens hoods, with a good selection in the filter screw-on type. Anyone?
|
Best (and most expensive); Chroziel. I have the DV 4x4 mattebox system with PD150 base. Very well built.

I agree with Martin, Chrosziel is the best hands down. Arri makes a nice clamp-on box of course, not too difficult to adapt to your lens with the right adaptor ring.
Frank, what price range did you have in mind? |
Thanks. Price range? I'm only looking for a couple of the screw on lens hoods, not a matte box. I'm looking at some big, thick rubber ones. One is for the 52mm size, the other one I have to check first. Someone suggested "Hoodman," or something like that. I want the type that's not soft but firm, if you know what I mean (?)

Hi Frank,
Is this what you mean? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bh4.sph/FrameWork.class?FNC=ProductActivator__Aproductlist_html___11162___BWLHT52___REG___CatID=0___SID=F124 893F6D0 Let us know, - don |
Thanks. I guess I have to look at a bunch. I want the heavy-duty type, with hard rubber---to give the lens area a bit of protection from bumps. The ones I have right now are too soft.

That B+W lens hood I mentioned looks pretty heavy duty to me. Note that it is a fixed type and not one of the collapsible style hoods.
