Does the ALC-SH172 lens hood come included with the SELP1635G lens, or is it a separate purchase?
The ALC-SH172 is supplied with the FE PZ 16–35mm F4 G (SELP1635G) lens, and it can also be purchased separately from Sony as a replacement accessory.
What type of lens hood is the ALC-SH172, and how does it attach?
The ALC-SH172 is a petal-shaped, bayonet-type lens hood. It mounts by attaching to the front bayonet fitting of the SELP1635G lens for a quick, secure connection.
What is the main purpose of the ALC-SH172 lens hood?
This hood helps block stray light to reduce flare and ghosting in stills and video. It also provides some physical protection for the lens's front element.
Is the ALC-SH172 lens hood compatible with lenses other than the SELP1635G?
Sony designed the ALC-SH172 specifically for the FE PZ 16–35mm F4 G (SELP1635G) lens. For other lenses, check Sony's accessory compatibility information or the specific lens documentation.
What are the size and weight of the ALC-SH172 lens hood?
The ALC-SH172 measures approximately 3.75 x 1.01 inches (95.3 x 26.8 mm) and weighs about 0.8 oz (20.4 g). Its compact, lightweight design keeps the lens easy to handle and store.
Does the ALC-SH172 lens hood cause vignetting on the SELP1635G?
The petal shape is optimized for the SELP1635G's wide-angle range, so it provides shading without intruding into the frame. When correctly attached, it should not cause noticeable vignetting on this lens.
How much does the ALC-SH172 lens hood cost?
MSRP is listed as $45.99. 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.
Why is the ALC-SH172 designed with a petal shape?
The petal (flower) shape is optimized to block stray light while avoiding vignetting at wide angles. This matches the optical design of the SELP1635G and helps maintain its compact, gimbal-friendly form factor.
