Lens Hood Purpose
The primary purpose of a lens hood is to block stray light from entering the lens from outside the frame, thereby reducing the risk of lens flare and loss of contrast. By preventing unwanted light from striking the front element at oblique angles, a lens hood can help maintain image clarity, improve color saturation, and enhance overall contrast. In addition to its optical benefits, a lens hood provides a measure of physical protection for the lens, shielding it from accidental impacts, fingerprints, dust, and light precipitation.
