Rayman96 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Mike, a lens hood is used to control the amount of light. When you have your subject in position and in focus, the light meter in the camera will get a truer reading.It stops flaring in the lens from direct sunlight and remote flash.

Nailer Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Used to prevent flare. Fits on the end of you lens. Most higher end lenses come with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
