Dedicated to the Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS lens, the ALC-SH134 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.
