Which lens is the Sony ALC-SH131 lens hood designed for?
The ALC-SH131 is dedicated to the Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA lens (SEL55F18Z). It is specifically shaped and sized to match that lens's image circle.
What type of lens hood is the Sony ALC-SH131?
The ALC-SH131 uses a petal-shaped, bayonet-type design. The petal shape helps reduce flare by blocking stray light from entering the lens.
Will the ALC-SH131 cause vignetting on full-frame E-mount cameras?
Because the hood is specifically shaped and sized for the Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA lens's image circle, it is not expected to introduce vignetting under normal use on compatible full-frame or APS-C E-mount bodies.
Does the ALC-SH131 lens hood do more than reduce flare?
Yes. In addition to reducing flare, the hood provides extra protection for the front lens element against accidental bumps and scratches.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Sony ALC-SH131?
The ALC-SH131 measures approximately 3" x 2 1/8" (76.0 x 52.8 mm) in diameter and length, and weighs about 1.5 oz (42 g).
How much does the Sony ALC-SH131 lens hood cost?
MSRP is listed as $43.99. 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.
How do I know I'm getting the correct lens hood for my lens?
Lens hoods are matched to specific lenses, and the ALC-SH131 is the dedicated hood for the SEL55F18Z. Choosing the model designed for your exact lens ensures the correct fit and coverage without vignetting.
Is the Sony ALC-SH131 available to purchase directly from Sony?
