A rubber lens hood, also known as a collapsible lens hood or foldable lens hood, is a type of lens hood made from flexible rubber material. Unlike traditional hard plastic or metal lens hoods, rubber lens hoods are collapsible and can be easily folded or rolled up when not in use, making them more compact and convenient for storage and transportation.Rubber lens hoods typically feature accordion-style folds or ribs that allow them to extend or retract to accommodate different focal lengths and shooting scenarios. When extended, they help shade the lens from stray light, reducing lens flare and improving contrast and color saturation in images. They also provide some level of physical protection for the front element of the lens against accidental bumps and scratches.
One of the advantages of rubber lens hoods is their versatility. Since they can collapse or expand, they can be used with various lenses with different filter thread sizes and focal lengths.
Additionally, they are less prone to breaking compared to rigid lens hoods, making them a durable and cost-effective option for photographers.
COLLAPSIBLE IN 3 STEPS The rubber lens hood can be folded out in 3 steps to offer different levels of sun shading. Because the rubber lens hood can be fully collapsed, you can leave it on your lens so you can always use it when you need it.
