Dedicated to the Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS lens, the ALC-SH130 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.
