It does not come with lens hood, but they are not expensive at other sites on Amazon.

I believe a hood was included with my new lens. This lens is a wonder, by the way. It looks odd and it performs WAY beyond its price.

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

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.

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 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.

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

When I ordered my SLR, it came with a hood. It is a standard size. You should check with the seller. I think that a used camera shop or Amazon would have them as well.

Yes, the WR version of the 18-55 lens comes with a lens hood. However, Pentax does sell a less expensive version of the lens with identical optics but with a plastic mount, no weather resistance, no quick shift focus and no hood. I think it is worth the extra $100 to get the WR version.

Hi Laura, when I bought it 6 years back it came with a hood. But be aware, that this hood works best at 28 mm and has nearly no function at 300 mm.

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, a hood does come with this lens. It appears to be the same hood as comes with the 18-55 mm kit lens.

It is a plastic hood that acts as a sun shade. It has no lens but acts as a lens protector.

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

It should come with a lens hood, at least mine did. Check the Richo web site for a list of authorized dealers. Amazon is one but many dealers are not.

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.
