Negative Positive
Title: Completely non-functional design.
Review: Despite many photographers making fun of people that leave their hoods on the lens reversed, I personally like doing that from time to time. That was the main purpose I bought this over the cheaper Photodiox hood. However, the design of this hood makes it unusable.Please see my pictures to clearly see the problem. You press buttons on opposing sides to retract tabs in order to secure the hood to the threaded lens attachment; but pressing the buttons compresses the hood making it extremely difficult to attach. This makes de/re-taching the hood a very frustrating task. And because the hood is free-floating on the ring, you cannot remove the hood from the lens without first removing the hood from the attachment ring.This design was so poorly implemented, I'm really surprised it is sold. This will sit in the box on my shelf. I wouldn't accept this if given to me for free. Get the simple Photodiox hood for less money and better design.
