This lens usually comes w/hood?? Most sellers don't say they do so I guess not. Thinking bout getting this for my beginners kit. I need to buy hood??

Lens most definitely comes with an included Sigma hood. Any vendor who says it doesn't, is looking to rip you off.

Yes, it does come with a lens hood and it has a 6 year warranty. Bought one last December and very happy with it.

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.

It came with 2 hoods. One large and one smaller. It's been a wonderful lens although I haven't had a lot of opportunities to use it. My son borrows it all the time for wedding shoots and loves it and he's fairly picky when it comes to a good lens. For the price compared to Canon it's a great lens. Very heavy though.

Comes with hood and front and rear caps. Nice lens. Good reviews from reputable sites. Mine has gone up in value ($) since I purchased it. I researched it well as I always do. Would put up against Nikon. It's my only non Nikon lens I own.

No, I purchased mine about a year ago and neither of the kit lenses came with a hood.

Different vendors sell items at different prices depending on their inventories. I am satisfied with the lens it came repacked in a box with all the labeled items and it is brand new. I would buy it again at $700 any day if i needed another one. Best of luck on your decision. :)

Yes it comes with both. The hood is even twist off. Very convenient. It's a very fun lens.

Hi there Jaclyn. This is a premium lens and it comes with everything standard for a premium lens including a very nice case. A great lens indeed. You got to buy your filters separately and if you need additional protection then buy the skin for it too.

The camera came with they call a "kit" lens. I purchased a 50mm lens additionally. I haven't even used the kit lens yet, because I was really longing for the 50mm! I should probably try it out. I'm pleased with my older model, used camera - don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

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).

The previous response is correct, you need an adapter to use filters. But if you use the adapter, you can't use a lens hood. The filter/adapter is wider than the lens.

I don't use lens hood. I like flares. As far as caps, I like the included one. It's a pinch model like Nikon's.

Yes, mine came with a small one. In my experience, with the exception of the 30mm pancake, all the nx lenses (or cameras with them) come with lens hoods. That said, it is just a little plastic ring hood, no flaps or fancy moving parts.

I'd suggest no hood neither filter for protection... the lens is tiny and so cool/usefull like this... the front glass is small and there's almost no risk for a damage...

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