Vello LHF-X100B Dedicated Lens Hood (Black): Protect Your Lens and Enhance Your Images
The Vello LH-X100B Dedicated Lens Hood is a practical and essential accessory designed specifically for select Fujifilm lenses, including the XF 23mm f/2 R WR, XF 35mm f/2 R WR, and XF 50mm f/2 R WR. This bayonet-mount lens hood effectively minimizes stray light from entering the lens, reducing unwanted lens flare and ghosting that can degrade image contrast and colour saturation. Beyond its light-blocking capabilities, the LH-X100B also provides valuable physical protection to the front element of your lens against accidental bumps, scratches, and the elements.
Minimize Lens Flare and Ghosting:
Stray light from outside the image frame can often cause unwanted internal reflections within your lens, resulting in flare (bright, hazy spots) and ghosting (faint, secondary images). The Vello LH-X100B extends beyond the front of your lens and is precisely shaped to block these interfering light rays, leading to images with richer contrast, more vibrant colors, and greater overall clarity. This is particularly beneficial when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight or when strong artificial light sources are present in or near your frame.
Protect Your Lens from Accidental Damage:
The front element of your lens is vulnerable to accidental bumps, scratches, and dust. The Vello LH-X100B acts as a physical barrier, absorbing minor impacts and preventing direct contact with the lens surface. This added layer of protection can help safeguard your valuable lens investment and maintain its pristine condition for years to come. Whether you’re navigating crowded streets or shooting in rugged environments, the lens hood provides peace of mind.
Durable and Lightweight Construction:
Crafted from high-quality ABS plastic, the Vello LH-X100B is both lightweight and durable. It adds minimal bulk and weight to your lens, ensuring it remains comfortable to handle and easy to store. The robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use in various shooting conditions.
Bayonet Mount for Secure Attachment:
The LH-X100B features a precise bayonet mount that ensures a secure and snug fit onto your compatible Fujifilm lens. The bayonet design makes it quick and easy to attach and detach the hood, and it also allows for the hood to be reversed and stored on the lens when not in use, minimizing storage space in your camera bag.
Dedicated Design for Optimal Performance:
This lens hood is specifically designed for the focal lengths and barrel shape of the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR, XF 35mm f/2 R WR, and XF 50mm f/2 R WR lenses. Its shape and length are precisely optimized to provide the maximum amount of stray light blockage without vignetting (darkening of the corners of your image). This dedicated design ensures optimal performance and seamless integration with your lens.
Sleek Black Finish:
The black finish of the Vello LH-X100B complements the aesthetics of your Fujifilm lens and camera body, maintaining a professional and cohesive look to your gear.
