I just ordered this unit. They are very few reviews online. I would like to know if the lens hood has a thread where I can add a lens protector.

The hood has a thread that connects it to the unit. There is no thread on the end of the outside edge of the hood. The whole unit comes with a nice carrying case so you don't need to worry about stuff getting on it. We've been using this on the road for various presentations without any issue so far. Even had it drop from 5 feet and survive!

Nope. There is a thread where the hood attaches to the projector, but nothing on the wide end.

I don't use the cone shape part if that's what your calling the hood. There is a thread to install it if u want to use it.

No threads on the outer edge but the inside has what looks like camera style threads, you may be able to find a standard lens hood that will fit. My unit has been running continuously since thanksgiving 2013, it did shut down once but I blew out the fan vents and it came back to normal operation. Great unit.

Yes, the lens comes with a hood and also it comes with a lens cover front and back. Hope it helps.

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

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.

In addition to the other answers, using the filter holder function of this hood is essential, because the lens protrudes forward of it's surrounding ring when focussing at certain distances. If you screw the filter directly onto the camera, the lens impacts the filter, makes an ugly grinding noise, and the camera shuts down. Don't ask how I know this.

the collar that you thread on to the filter threads is where you fit the hood on, both for reverse and photo taking positions. it doesn't work well, its very tight and i ended up not using it. i just got the canon hoods for the lens instead.

i have a nikon d3300 it came with the hb-46 lens hood that i have misplaced. i was able to get another one at a camera store in the seattle area.

Yes. I didn't realize a hood came with the lens and ordered it separately. But I really didn't need it.

The Tokina package that I received included a lens hood. Since the lens hood is very specific to the lens geometry, it makes sense to include it. And I think very highly of the the subject lens. I give it a 4 star rating.

I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

The hood is perfect for my camera and I use it to deflect sunlight. Care should be used in connecting it and make sure it "clicks" into place. No problems with it since purchase for my SX30.

Sadly it has a screw-on adapter then the hood attaches to that. I found the adapter ring was causing the shadowing in the corners of the pictures. I returned it and got the Canon hood which WAS a bayonet style hood ( NO ADAPTER RING) and it works perfectly..

The unit itself and a black open face open back holder. No lens protection. I got rid of that and used Modified a case with the cutout for the connecting piece.

That is correct, it does not come with a hood. It is a wonderful lens, you will not be sorry!

There is a lens hood but no other accessories. You will need to purchase a UV filter.

Threads are not well-done on this hood. The thread base is supposed to stay on the lens, the hood then screws on the base either way.

The one I recieved did not come with a hood. I ended up returning it because I didn't check compatibility with my Nikon, oops.
