Go to the Sigma Corporate website and scroll to the bottom to find Lens Hood http://www.sigmaphoto.com/shop/lens-hoods then you can find and purchase the right one for your lens.

I use it on my tamron 18-270 and have NO trouble with the lens hood. I like the BW filter so much that I just bought another one for my Tamron 28-75 (67mm for the latter). I think the light transmission is excellent!

Kay, sounds like you may have lost your original hood? If so, and it were me, I would order the 58mm filter lens adapter and the 58mm lens hood and tethered lens cap. That way you are not only replacing the hood but making possible to use standard lens filters in the camera. The hood that comes with the camera doesn't allow for this. The adapter has come down in price on Amazon. Then get a set of filters.

You can add filters designed for that lens (50mm f/1.8). Same as the hood. See previous answer

I am not so sure what lens it has for the camera since I havent seen the camera. I bought the hood for my 5DMarkII just for long range telephoto lens. It is for 52 mm and if you have 52 mm lenses it will. The hood is for thread mount and it's quite decent for the price if you are not a perfectionist.

This lens hood - like most any other - is designed to fit a specific diameter lens. Look on the front of your specific lens for the diameter - given in millimeters and often followed by a circle with a vertical line through it (meaning diameter). Match the diameter of the lens hood to the diameter of you lens. This AGFA - like most lens hoods - is available in a variety of diameters. If your lens is 77mm it will work. If not - then order the matching diameter.

I'm not sure, but I think that this hood is for lenses only 17-85mm and 18-135

The one i received does not have threading on the front.... you could use a hood but it would have to be one that fits over the front of the lens and that is a little bigger than 68mm according to their website....

The Fotodiox C-ES-62 lens hood has very fine 52mm threads, and will screw onto the lens, or a UV filter, if you use one - just snub it on lightly, don't over tighten it !

When I ordered my SLR, it came with a hood. It is a standard size. You should check with the seller. I think that a used camera shop or Amazon would have them as well.

It will fit perfectly (about 1/4" to spare - width wise) with hood and filter attached. Lens will slip out nicely, not snug, not too loose.

This hood has to be screwed into the threading of the 18-55mm lens. It gives the option to use the other mount feature but that hasn't worked for me because it doesn't fit that way.

I would look at the diameter on the lens to see if it would fit. It should say on the front of the lens and then you just need to get the correct size of lens cap.

Not sure, my son has mine with his Canon gear. My only thought might be to turn the hood upside down with the lens inside to lessen/lower the profile.

Yes I would suggest a hood, when ever you buy a new lens you should buy a hood to go along with it. I agree with O'Connor, you don't need to spend 30 dollars on a hood when a generic brand will do like he said its just a piece of plastic, it will fit just fine and do the job just like a 30 dollar lens hood would.

Well, it fits but you can not reverse it to save room in your bag. There are two 55-200 DX Nikkor lenses, this hood is for the cheaper, smaller one.
