The ALC-SH146 is a dedicated hood for the Sony FE 50mm F1.8 (SEL50F18F) full-frame E-mount lens. It is shaped to match the lens's compact design and is listed by Sony as the hood supplied with that lens.
What type of lens hood is the ALC-SH146?
It is a round, bayonet-type lens hood that attaches via a bayonet mount to the front of the SEL50F18F lens for quick attachment, removal, and secure locking.
Can the ALC-SH146 be reversed for storage?
Yes, the hood features a reversible design and can be mounted in reverse on the lens for more compact storage.

How else does the ALC-SH146 help protect my lens?
Beyond reducing flare, the hood helps shield the front element from accidental impacts, keeps fingers away from the glass, and provides some protection when the camera is stored, carried, or during lens changes.
