Which lens is the Sony Lens Hood ALC-SH116 compatible with?
The ALC-SH116 is a dedicated lens hood designed specifically for the Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS (SEL50F18) lens. It is not intended for other lens models.
What is the main purpose of the ALC-SH116 lens hood?
It blocks stray light from entering the lens, helping to minimize flare and ghosting, especially when shooting toward strong light sources. It also provides physical protection for the front element against bumps and scratches.
What type of mount does the ALC-SH116 use?
The ALC-SH116 is a round-shape, bayonet-type hood that locks securely onto the front of the lens. The bayonet mount makes it quick and easy to attach and remove compared to screw-in hoods.
How does the ALC-SH116 improve image quality?
By shielding the front element from stray light, the hood helps reduce reflections, flare, and glare, which supports better contrast and color in your images. This is especially helpful in bright or backlit conditions.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ALC-SH116 lens hood?
The hood measures 70.6 x 46.6 mm (approximately 2 7/8" x 1 7/8") in diameter by length. It weighs about 28 g (1.0 oz), adding minimal bulk to the lens.
Is the ALC-SH116 a replacement for the hood included with the SEL50F18?
The ALC-SH116 is the same round, bayonet-type hood supplied as standard with the SEL50F18 lens. It is offered here as a spare or replacement for that original hood.
How much does the Sony Lens Hood for SEL50F18 (ALC-SH116) cost?
MSRP is listed as $29.99. 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.
Does buying the ALC-SH116 directly from Sony include any benefits?
Yes. Buying directly from Sony includes free shipping, easy returns, financing as low as 0% APR with Affirm on orders over $50, and My Sony membership with 5% back in points.
