bubba_clinton Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I have a 24mm f/2.8 prime lens by minotla and was wondering if anyone find the flower-shaped bayonet lens hood useful since the lens is so wide. I don't have one and am consider buying it. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_bloke Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I've used it and every time I do, it shows up in the image. So I stopped bothering with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_spence Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I assume you're referring to the 24mm f/2.8 autofocus lens. My lens is the version with the rubberized focusing ring and lens hood that bayonets on. I always use the lens hood - not so much for shading the front of the lens from the sun, but to keep my fingers from straying to the front of the lens when I'm handholding the camera as the lens is so short. The flower shaped hood is useful and vastly preferable to the perfectly round, thin, and arguably useless hoods I have on some wide angle manual focus Minolta MD lenses. I bought my autofocus 24mm new many years ago and I've never had a problem with the lens hood it came with vignetting the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_hancock Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I use mine all the time and have never had any problem with vignetting due to the lens hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
