Does the lens cap fit directly on the lens, or do you have to use that strange hood in between?

Hi TJ, this Sony Lens SEL20F28 is an E-mount type of lens. When using on an E-mount type of Sony Camera, there is no need to have strange hood in between. -Ely

Lens cap fits directly on the lens. Strange good not necessary to put it on.

A lens cap can't be used. Unfortunately. You have to take it off when you're done.

Hi Christine, There is a ring on the top of the lens, you have to remove it to place the Hood. Best Juan

No lens cap required. Just like the other Ron wrote, when you turn it off it retracts it has its own lens cover. Depending upon how you use and carry it with you it might be good to occasionally check the lens for dust - when the camera is on and the lens is open of course.

Sorry - sent the answer prematurely. There is no cap as such. One end of the tube attaches to the base of the camera lens and the various filters screw into the other end of the tube. The tulip lens hood then screws onto whatever filter is being used. The tube can fit into the tulip lens hood when the lens hood is not being used, which makes it a bit easier to pack both of them.

when you mount the lens on the camera backwards, you loose the original filter thread size as it is now attached to the camera side. the ring that takes the rear of the lens has an opening of 52mm so you need any filter, cap or hood ti be 52mm because you're attaching it to the adapter and not to the original filter thread on the lens.

The hood can be used with the filter, in my personal experience however, when the lens turns so does the hood, instead of staying put.

Not sure, my son has mine with his Canon gear. My only thought might be to turn the hood upside down with the lens inside to lessen/lower the profile.

The hood helps prevent flare by blocking light from cutting across the lens from the side. It doesn't actually replace a cap, but does put something in front of the lens and so protects against bumps. The cap won't fit on the hood - you'd need to find a larger one, but I'm not sure of the diameter. It's a bayonet hood though, so it's easy to take off and put on the lens cap when you put the camera back in your bag.

No lens cap required. When turned off, the lense self-retracts and a sliding cover closes over the lens...very cool!

Yes, this lens hood fits your lens. Just line up the marks and push while rotating the hood until it locks in place.

You will not be able to put the lens cap on while the lens hood is on. They can only be on at separate times. You would have to buy a reverse lens hood to use them together.

You can not use the lens cap over the shade. You can remove the shade, and the cap fits over, but what I did is purchase a UV filter so I never use the cap.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but will answer as best I can. If you reverse the hood and twist it on, it should fit on the lens and you can put a lens cap on the lens. I always put my lens cap on first and then put the hood on the lens afterwards, but, yes you can put the hood on the lens and then cap it.

It does, yes. The cover ONLY fits if you have the hood on. For this lens, you'll basically always want to leave the hood on.

Honestly, I'm not sure about with a hood, I have a Canon 75-300mm and it fits great in the 3rd one (next to the largest), They aren't "skin tight". Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
