Does the lens come with a lens hood? If not, does Sony make one that can be purchased separately?

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

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

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

I received my lens about a month ago and yes it comes with a lens hood. The 18-55 mm lens does not so I purchased that separately. Also the 35mm f1.8 comes with a hood. Hope that helps.

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

This is odd, I bought my wife a K5 which came with this lens and a hood. It was ordered from Amazon. reading comments someone, somewhere was messed up badly.

Yes, the pliable hood comes with a metallic rim that is threaded on both sides of the rim. You simply screw the hood onto the camera lens, then screw the lens cap onto the hood.

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

FYI - this lens (at lease the US version) DOES come new with a hood as well as a very nice $50+ zippered soft case and tripod mountthe hood is a twist-on bayonet style similar to all OEM Canon hoods -it is more of a cone-style flat hood, NOT a petal-style hood like the 70-210mm hasthe case stands out as a high cost, high quality item worthy of housing such an expensive lens the tripod mount is completely solid and becomes part of the lens body - it is many times stronger than it needs to be

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

Hi John, you can still use a lens hood even when you place a polarizing filter on this Sony SEL35F28Z lens. -Ely

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.

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.

It comes with the Sony petal style hood inside the box ( I bought mine new from AMAZON ) If yours did not come with the orig hood, The Sony part number for the hood is ALC-SH119 and the filter size is 62mm so I would assume If you're going to start looking for an aftermarket hood, I would start looking for 62mm size hoods. PS- I love my 18-135 with the SAM motor, it's quiet and usable for AF in video mode. Most of all, the 18-135 is one of the Sony Alpha lens that is made in Japan.

Yes, it does include a hood. It's a little bit annoying, because the lens cap actually goes on the hood instead of the lens, so if you want to have a cap on the lens you'll have to have the hood on it too.

Yes, there is a hood. It's very good, fits well, positive contact to lock on lens
