Dedicated to the Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS, E 35mm f/1.8 OSS, and FE 28mm f/2 lenses, the ALC-SH112 Lens Hood helps to minimize flare by deflecting stray light from entering the lens. The petal-shaped hood also provides additional protection to the lens from accidental impacts, bumps, or scratching. It is offered here as a spare or replacement for the hood originally included with the lens.
