What is the proper hood for this lens? Sony brand or otherwise?

The correct hood is ALC-SH119. Mine came with this hood and the filter size is 62mm. Haven't used my lens as I just recently received it. The SAM motor is quiet and the lens is an ideal 'carry-around' lens.

It comes with the Sony petal style hood inside the box ( I bought mine new from AMAZON )If yours did not come with the orig hood, The Sony part number for the hood is ALC-SH119 and the filter size is 62mm so I would assume If you'regoing to start looking for an aftermarket hood, I would start lookingfor 62mm size hoods.PS- I love my 18-135 with the SAM motor, it's quiet and usable for AF in video mode.Most of all, the 18-135 is one of the Sony Alpha lens that is made in Japan.

The correct hood is ALC-SH119.PS the 18-135 is a nice lens but I find myself using my Sigma 18-250 more.less noise when focusing and fast,accurate focus.

I bought a tulip lens hood for mine and it doesn't fit correctly. It screws on, but not matter how I try to put it on, it doesn't line up with the lens unless I leave it loose. So it's going back and I'll be buying the rubber collapsible one! Panasonic, you need to make a lens hood for this camera!

If I seen correctly on sony web page your lens has thread 55mm. This lens has 52 and adapter for 49. It is on face of your lens.

It's called a LENS HOOD. It is included inside the box on Sony's HDR-CX760V. I find it essential when filming outside to deflect bright sunlight against the lens glass surface. However, I take it off for inside and evening/dark filming.

Hi, Honestly, I'm not sure. My prime lens is the Sony Zeiss 1.8/2.4 (which looks to be about the same size as yours), which fits the case fine, with some slack in the diameter of the tube. So, if the hood is about the length (or less) of the lens, and if it can be reversed and sheathed over the lense, then it might fit. But if it flares out, or doesn't reverse for storage, I'd say the case would not work for both lens & hood. Hope that helps. Sincerely, Chrystos

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.

It will perfectly fit. I've bought it for my Alpha 57 only and it holds the kit lens even with the Sony hood mounted on it.

I have the 72mm hood for my 18-250 lens. They seem difficult to find. A different hood is also available for the newer 62mm lens. The hoods are not interchangeable but are similar in appearance.

It is a fisheye lens with a 180 degree view so standard filters do not fit. (My lens cap is now loose and keeps falling off so just be aware that this may also happen to you. I took the lens hood to the local camera shop and they inserted fresh tape on the inside of the hood to grip the lens).

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

It will fit the lens itself, not the filter, so you would first put the lens hood on then the filter on the lens hood. Hoped this helped you!

I have purchased extra lens caps for mine. You just need to order a 67mm diameter cap. Lens Cap Bundle - 4 Snap-on Lens Covers for DSLR Cameras including Nikon, Canon, Sony - Lens Cap Keepers included (67mm) As for the hood, I haven't had to order a new one or additional ones but I imagine you can (again 67mm).

My lens did not come with a hood. just a lens cover. Bought a hood separately.

If you have a Hood on the lens, how would you adjust the CPL filter? I'm sure the hood fit over the filter.

I don't use lens hood. I like flares. As far as caps, I like the included one. It's a pinch model like Nikon's.

The hood is perfect for my camera and I use it to deflect sunlight. Care should be used in connecting it and make sure it "clicks" into place. No problems with it since purchase for my SX30.
