What is a hood used for

Most state that a lens hood either protects the front element of the lens or helps prevent lens flare from sunlight. Both answers are correct, however it does help prevent lens flare in a studio situation where a hair light or a softbox without honeycomb is being used.

The lens hood has two primary functions:1. To shade the front element of the lens from any unwanted light entering (similar to the peak on a cap shading your eyes). This prevents lens flares and glares from showing up in your pictures.2. It protects the front element of your lens from any accidental bumps and scratches. Just screw it on and you have a buffer to protect the lens. Hope this helps.

The adapter ring has to come off of the camera in order to install any filters. It is there to protect the threads. I'm not sure, but I don't think you need to remove it to use just a lens hood.

The hood is not adjustable, but by twisting the support pole you can adjust the height. Also there is a visor which lifts up and down to allow someone to slip their head in. It has four speeds and get very hot. Works like a dream and as advertised. One of my friends who tried it also bought one and loves it.

The hood is designed to stop rain from filling up the trap. I noticed no difference with the hood on or off, but I suggest leaving it on if you are in a rainy climate as the trap does not function if it fills with water.

It could be set on something, but not for use. It would get too hot unless you are pulling air through the hood to keep the temps down. Even then, it would probably lose some light coverage. Best bet is to hang it. It has some weight to it, so if you have to make a mounting structure make it sturdy.

Not sure I understand your question. But if you are asking how the hood stays down it has a rubber strap on each side that holds it down.

Good question Derek~ I think it is more of a practical item to protect the heater hood....but, guess you're right, it resembles a shaped garbage bag with a zipper--and, it's thicker leather-looking plastic. I actually like this product a lot and would recommend it.

The handle inside the hood is what you use to engage the easy steer wheels. They prop the car up just a bit and make it much easier to turn. You can pull them back up when you don't want that feature. When we push our daughter we put them down. When we let her push the car around we pull them up so the car is a little more stable and she doesn't eat it face first!

Thank you for the question. A hood cannot be attached if a lens cap is attached. Thank you for your consideration.

I have not needed to vent this oven using a hood. I use it for preparing simple items with my 4-H cooking groups.

The hood isn't removable and it is a warm jacket but if you are in weather below 35 a liner will keep you warm.

There's no optical reason for getting a lens hood anyhow. It seems impervious to flare. Unless you're worried about dropping the lens and scratching the front element, don't fret not having one.

No hood. The inside is the same as the out so as the collar. Like a rain jacket almost. Hope that helps

I used the hood to protect the front element as I didn't like running a UV filter. You can find the hood on eBay (not Sony brand) for less than 150. They even have rangefinder leica style hoods

From the picture and description I saw it doesn't appear that it has anywhere to fit, nor the necessity to do so with lighting options provided with this tank. The hood would be sitting up on the shell of this light system most likely. Any plastic can be cut though, and I'm sure you could rig this up to use one of these lights. I personally don't see the advantage on a setup like this however.

Katrina, the hood attaches to the ring bayonet-style - it's super simple to remove, but stays on very securely when it's on. I typically keep it on, unless I'm using the optical viewfinder - the hood blocks some of the frame when using it.

Wow! I have never used the magnet without the hood - primarily, I suppose because mine hang outside. In AZ, using without the hood would significantly increase evaporation. They certainly work well with hood in place!
