Using a lens hood prevents light from hitting the front lens element from the sides, thereby reducing contrast and creating flare. Pictures taken with a lens hood will generally have richer colors and deeper saturation. Lens hoods also add additional protection for your lens. ProMaster replacement lens hoods are super high quality with excellent fit and finish.
This hood is designed to fit the Fuji 15-45mm power zoom lens. It is attached using the lens' 52mm mounting thread. The hood itself also has a 52mm thread allowing the original Fuji lens cap to be use with the hood in place. 52mm filters can also be applied to the hood's thread.
