What lens does the Sony ALC-SH122 lens hood fit?
The ALC-SH122 is the dedicated lens hood designed specifically for the Sony DT 55-300mm F4.5-5.6 SAM (SAL55300) telephoto zoom lens.
What does the ALC-SH122 lens hood do?
It minimizes flare and ghosting by deflecting stray light from entering the lens, helping maintain contrast and color saturation in bright or backlit conditions. It also provides additional protection against accidental impacts, bumps, and scratches to the front element.
What type of mount does the ALC-SH122 use?
The ALC-SH122 uses a bayonet mount for quick, secure attachment and removal from the lens.
What is the shape of the ALC-SH122 lens hood?
It is a round-shape lens hood optimized for the telephoto focal range of the SAL55300, blocking stray light without vignetting at 55mm.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ALC-SH122?
The ALC-SH122 measures approximately 89.6 x 53.7 mm (3 5/8" x 2 1/8") and weighs about 36 g (1.3 oz).
Can I use the ALC-SH122 with other Sony lenses?
The ALC-SH122 is purpose-built for the SAL55300, so it should be treated as a dedicated hood for that lens rather than a general-purpose accessory.
Is the ALC-SH122 the same hood that comes with the SAL55300 lens?
Yes, the ALC-SH122 is supplied as the standard hood in the box with the SAL55300, and it is also offered separately as a spare or replacement.
How much does the Sony ALC-SH122 lens hood cost?
MSRP is listed as $25.99.
