Does this lens come with a lens hood or do I have purchase it separately?

Yes. When you buy premium EX lenses they come with lens hood and a case also. They have the sigma rear lens caps too. Not like the plastic things that other brands give you.

Check your lens manual for filter size. Doesn't that lens come with a lens hood?

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.

No, but please note that all lenses can benefit from a hood! Check Amazon's deals for a good price!

Yes Sir, it does come with the hood. This is one of the finest lens I have ever used. Make sure your camera accepts the e-mount and that it has the firmware that corrections the barrel distortion inherent to the lens. This is discussed in most of the reviews about the lens. It works beautifully with my Sony Nex 7. I never even see the distortion.

Like I did, you can get a lens hood off of ebay for less than 10 dollars for RX1. Lens hood is exactly what the name implies. It's a lens hood! Not worth getting a Sony brand for $150. Get some extra batteries with that money instead.

Yes, this comes with a lens hood, and covers. The front cover tends to come off very easily and only attaches to the lens hood, while on the lens.

The lens does not ship with the hood anywhere in the world that I am aware of - and certainly not here in Asia. The lens hood is not necessary, because macro lenses are only very rarely used shooting into the sun or in the direct line of flash. The optional hood is outrageously expensive.

Yes, this lens comes with a generous hood, both caps and a very well made cubic, or rather cubic, lens case. I find the lens, itself, excellent glass. Yes I would recommend it to friends. And yes, I intend to purchase additional Sigma lenses.

Most Nikon lenses come with hoods, but this one definitely does. If you are shooting with sunlight the hood is a must.

Yes. The lens I purchased came with the canon ew83h lens hood and a few other things. The retailer was "get it digital"

The lens I received did not come with a hood or case - just the lens in an unmarked cardboard box. It is a great lens for the price, but the packaging/lack or accessories were quite "bare-bones".

Hi, it's a lens hood, and it does come in the box. It's not tremendously durable (this is a consumer camera-- a very good one-- after all), but it works well.

Hi Harry, the lens does not come with a lens hood. We do not have a lens hood that is compatible with this model. Thanks_Mitch

Lens hood included, no polarizer. But the lens is very disappointing. The zoom is not as good as advertised & it constantly makes an annoying squealing noise when the camera is turned on. Don 't recommend you buy the lens.
