Why on earth does it say 2 AA batteries required in the product details???? Does it come with a lens hood?

Haha, that's crazy. No batteries that I could locate; been using it for several months now. And yep it sure does.

Thank you for your question! This product takes 3 standard AA batteries (not included) to operate.

Yes, it comes with two AA batteries. I would warn you that it eats batteries up! That is why I sent mine back. Excellent camera, but I prefer to be able to plug it in to recharge instead of constantly buying batteries.

No, I have never heard of a lens requiring batteries. It functions as all other lenses that connect to DSLR cameras, using the camera battery to power the lens.

As do I. Oddly enough, my lens didn't come with a hood. Weird. I never knew it was supposed to.

It comes with a lens hood. If you didn't get one you contact Sony. Otherwise it is a wide angle zoom lens and you will need a Sony SH117 Lens Hood for a 72mm lens.

There is a lens hood but no other accessories. You will need to purchase a UV filter.

Lens hood included. Belive warranty is one year. A great lens for the average photographer. O

Other than a UV or Skylite filter, all are included including a lens hood. Always helps to have another battery, quite expensive but necessary.

yes it comes with a black plastic lens hood which is 2.5" long and 3.5" in diameter, it rotates and snaps onto the end of the lens. It also can be reversed for storage where the lens nestles into the hood and again rotates and locks on.

No, 2 AA batteries. I used it all summer long and only changed the batteries twice.

Mine came with: USB cord Battery Charger and 4 Rechargeable AA batteries (Charger sucks, slower than death...go buy yourself a better one if you don't already have one) Neck Strap Lens Cap Manual It may have come with a software disc, I don't remember entirely, and I don't use their software anyway because they stopped supporting it now that they're out of the camera business.

I don't recall if it came with one, but you are going to go through lots of batteries anyway. Rather than just buying tons of AAs, I definitely recommend getting a set of at least 2 rechargeables and a charger. Use one, charge one, repeat.

It does not come with a hood. Cannon includes hoods with L-class lenses, only. There are many 3rd party hoods that don't cost much. Tremendous lens. No other zoom lens comes close for a crop body camera. Fablulous all-around, especially for outdoors. Outstanding landscape lens.
