What lens is the ALC-SH132 lens hood compatible with?
The ALC-SH132 is a dedicated hood for the Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS (SEL2870) lens. It is the standard hood included in the box with that lens and is not designed for use with other lenses.
What does the ALC-SH132 lens hood do for my photos?
It blocks stray light from entering the lens, helping to minimize flare and ghosting while improving contrast and clarity. Its matte black finish absorbs light to reduce internal reflections and glare.
Does the ALC-SH132 also help protect the lens?
Yes, the petal-shaped hood provides physical protection against bumps, scratches, and impacts to the front element, and it helps keep fingers away from the glass. It also protects the lens when the camera is in a bag or placed on a surface.
How does the ALC-SH132 attach to the lens?
It uses a bayonet-type mount that attaches quickly and securely to the front of the SEL2870 lens for easy attachment and removal.
Can I reverse the ALC-SH132 for storage?
Yes, the hood can be reversed and mounted backward on the lens for more compact storage when you're not shooting.
Why is the ALC-SH132 petal-shaped?
The petal (tulip) shape maximizes light shading without causing vignetting across the 28-70mm zoom range, making it well suited to the SEL2870 lens.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ALC-SH132?
The hood measures approximately 81.0 x 40.8 mm (about 3 1/4" x 1 5/8") in diameter and length, and weighs about 19 g (0.7 oz), so it adds very little bulk to the lens.
Should I remove the hood when using an external flash?
When using an external flash, the hood may cast a shadow on close subjects, so removing it is recommended in that situation.
How much does the ALC-SH132 lens hood 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.
