What lens is the Sony ALC-SH104 lens hood designed for?
The ALC-SH104 is a dedicated lens hood built specifically for the Sony DT 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 A-mount zoom lens (model SAL18250). It is not indicated for use with other Sony lenses.
How does the ALC-SH104 attach to the lens?
The ALC-SH104 is a bayonet-mount hood that aligns with the front of the SAL18250 lens and twists into place until it locks securely. This design makes it quick to attach and detach.
What shape is the ALC-SH104 lens hood?
It is a petal (flower) shaped hood, optimized to block stray light while avoiding vignetting across the 18-250mm zoom range on APS-C.
Does the ALC-SH104 help reduce lens flare?
Yes. The ALC-SH104 shields the front element of the SAL18250 from stray light, which helps reduce flare and ghosting while improving contrast and color.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ALC-SH104?
The ALC-SH104 measures approximately 83.4 x 41.0 mm (3 3/8" x 1 5/8") and weighs about 16 g (0.6 oz), making it lightweight and well suited to the travel-zoom nature of the SAL18250.
Does the ALC-SH104 offer any physical protection for the lens?
In addition to its optical benefits, the petal-shaped hood provides physical protection for the front element against minor impacts, fingerprints, rain, dust, and sand.
How much does the Sony ALC-SH104 lens hood cost?
MSRP is listed as $46.99.
