Does the ALC-SH106 lens hood fit both the SAL1635Z and SAL1635Z2 lenses?
Yes. The ALC-SH106 is designed for the Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM lenses and is compatible with both the original SAL1635Z and the SAL1635Z2 versions.
Is the ALC-SH106 the same hood that comes with the SAL1635Z2 lens?
Yes. The SAL1635Z2 is supplied with a petal-shaped bayonet lens hood, model ALC-SH106, so this is an original replacement for the included hood.
What does the ALC-SH106 lens hood do for my images?
It shades the front element from strong light sources like the sun or spotlights, reducing flare and ghosting. This helps maintain contrast and clarity, especially at the wide angles where the SAL1635Z2 is used.
How does the ALC-SH106 attach to the lens?
It uses a bayonet mount that locks onto the front of the lens. Align the hood with the bayonet fittings, twist it into place until it clicks, and you can also reverse it on the lens for more compact storage.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ALC-SH106?
The hood measures approximately 4" x 1 5/8" (100.0 x 39.9 mm) in diameter by length and weighs about 1.8 oz (49 g).
Can I use the ALC-SH106 on other Sony lenses?
This hood is shaped specifically for the 16-35mm ZA SSM lenses. Even if another lens shares a similar filter diameter, using this hood on other models may cause vignetting or poor shading, so it is intended only for the SAL1635Z and SAL1635Z2.
Does the ALC-SH106 offer any physical protection for the lens?
Yes. It adds a protective barrier around the front element, helping shield the glass from accidental bumps and fingerprints when the lens is in use or placed down on a surface.
How much does the ALC-SH106 lens hood cost?
MSRP is listed as $82.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
