I just purchased this item but am wondering if I can use this over my lens hood? On location I cannot remove my hood and UV lens to use this

I expect that it would not work well with many lens hoods. It is really designed to cover the front of the lens with the filter attached. Most lens hoods today have awkward shapes that are not conducive to being fully covered by the Expodisc.

I would say probably not as it's also ment to remove once you get your white balance and exposure set, you can't actually take pictures with it on but I'm assuming you already know that part but if not then you do now. U may get away with this leaving on your uv filter but I rarely use mine so not sure and I don't think you'll be able to attach, or hold over your lens, or remove this with the lens hood on. But this tool in my opinion is really nice to have and use.

Not that I am aware of. I usually have to flush it with the end of the camera. I never have had a hood on. I would use it then place the hood on but that might make your white balance off because of the lack of light when the hood is on vs. no hood.

You can't use it over your lens hood, but you can use it over your UV filter

If lense hood has a circular flat outside edge then yes, if the outer edge is scalloped or uneven, then no.

No issues here of any kind when using this hood. I also have a 49mm B+W filter always mounted on it, since I don't use the lens cap. No issues.

I have taken mine off since I spent more time removing it to get various shots than keeping it on. But that's my way of taking photos. Perhaps it would be different for you. At the price, it was worth it to get the filters even if the hood didn't work out so well.

Not with this lens cap. Likely, there are aftermarket caps you can do this with, however.

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

You can use the hood because is hooked from the outer side of the lense, the uv filter is hooked in the inside of the lens

Make certain you have the correct millimeter size lens your new hood will fit on...as there are different sizes. You should find this info on either the outside edge or inside the lens.

This filter should not interfere with the lens hood. I have a couple of lenses with lens hoods that are recessed on the lens and not threaded into the lens as a filter would be. I have a 32mm Zeiss Touit with a B+W filter, and the lens hood has no problem with going on and off. If the lens hood threads into the filter, there is no interference at all. I hope this helps.

It would not be a requirement, but removal would be preferred by most photographers. If you already have a basic UV filter on your camera, screw this one onto it. At nightfall, remove this one leaving the UV filter on your camera. Otherwise, open this one (the polarized filter) all the way to let in the maximum amount of light.

Hi Rhonda! I would remove the rubber hood when changing filters as it will be easier to do. You can push the hood back to allow more light and get rid of the tunnel look when taking pics.Tried to respond on a previous note, but it wouldn't send??!! You have a might fine camera, I hope you get much enjoyment from it over time. IF you have questions, please drop a line andI will get back to you quickly. Very Best, Mike

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.

I neglected to add that the measurement was taken from the lens not the protective UV filter I purchased for the lens. I am somewhat puzzled by Anthony A's response to your question. The original Nikon lens hood designed for this lens is also a clip on not a screw in hood.

I still don't get it.DO I or DON'T I need to buy a lens adapter to use a UV filter in this camera?!Different people are saying totally different things.Some say you can thread a 52 mm filter directly into the camera, others say you need to buy an adapter and a 58mm filter.I and all other people reading this thread would be very thankful if some compassionate soul would clarify this important topic for us once and for all.Thank you!

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.

I always have a UV or skylight filter mounted on my Canon lenses, purely as protection for the lens from either dust or damage. The hood can be screwed directly onto the filter and it does not effect your pictures.

Nope. You may be able to cut it down. The actual lens slot is pretty small compared to everything else I have used (mainly Miller and one 3M).Still a decent hood. Got it for my helper because it was affordable. I have tried it a few times and like it. One thing I noticed that I don't remember reading before buying is that it doesnt have adjustable tint. It seems to auto adjust itself and I haven't been flashed while using it for TIG or stick.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.
