Does this come with a lens hood?

No. It wouldn't be too practical given the extreme wide angle of the lens. For what it's worth, I wondered about the same thing. I love the lens. DT

Yes, it comes with front and rear lens caps and a very nice lens hood. I have owned two of these lenses and bought another for my son-in-law and they are a great buy for the money. I use mine all the time and it's a great buy on a great lens. You won't be dissatisfied.

Yes it does. A screw on plastic grey one that fits over the lens when not in use.

Mine is US lens and came with hood and lens cover but did not come with soft case.

Yes, it has a stylish rectangular shaped hood that slips over the lense when stored. A really fine lense.

Yes it has a lens cap. Like virtually all lenses out there, they all have a cap to protect the front glass from being scratched while not in use. Not to be confused with a lens hood, which it does not come with...

If you buy it new, yeah. It fits American-sold cameras (not sure if there's any difference in fitting a lens to a European or Asian camera anyway), and it has lens covers and a soft case. I can't remember if mine came with a hood or not (I think it did).

Yes it does. I have the same setup and the hood screws inside the lens lip. I have mine on after a lens filter.

Yes. It comes with a basic lens case in which the lens, cap, and hood all fit.

Normally it comes with a very nice case but I don't remember if it had a hood or not. Normally i never use the hoods of any of my lenses. This lens is one of the nicest and clearest long lenses I have used and the macro capability is very nice because you don't have to get so close to your subject. Kind regards dm

It does not come with a hood. Cannon includes hoods with L-class lenses, only. There are many 3rd party hoods that don't cost much. Tremendous lens. No other zoom lens comes close for a crop body camera. Fablulous all-around, especially for outdoors. Outstanding landscape lens.

It isn't mentioned in the descripton, but it does come with a "tulip" type lens hood.

It comes in a cardboard box. No hood. I bought one here on Amazon (3rd party) for $6. The lens is amazing. The cheap hood is a bit tight but it works.

I believe a hood was included with my new lens. This lens is a wonder, by the way. It looks odd and it performs WAY beyond its price.

It comes with a lens hood. If you didn't get one you contact Sony. Otherwise it is a wide angle zoom lens and you will need a Sony SH117 Lens Hood for a 72mm lens.
