Which lens is the Sony ALC-SH180 lens hood compatible with?
The ALC-SH180 is designed specifically for the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2), matching its bayonet mount and dimensions. It is not listed as compatible with other Sony lenses.
Does the ALC-SH180 lens hood come included with the SEL85F14GM2 lens?
The ALC-SH180 hood is supplied in the box with the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2). It can also be purchased separately as a replacement or spare hood.
What does the ALC-SH180 lens hood do for image quality?
The hood blocks stray light and reflections from entering the lens from the sides, which reduces flare and ghosting while improving contrast. By shading the front of the lens, it helps prevent reflections from reaching the sensor.
What is the shape and mounting type of the ALC-SH180 hood?
The ALC-SH180 is a round, bayonet-type lens hood optimized for the 85mm focal length and full-frame angle of view. It attaches quickly and securely to the front of the SEL85F14GM2 using a dedicated bayonet mount.
What are the dimensions and weight of the ALC-SH180 lens hood?
Sony lists the hood at approximately 100.5 × 54.5 mm (diameter × length) and about 60.4 g (2.2 oz). These dimensions are matched to the front of the SEL85F14GM2 lens, keeping the overall package relatively light.
Does the ALC-SH180 provide physical protection for the lens?
Yes, beyond controlling light, the hood offers additional protection for the front element against accidental impact and minor knocks. Its extended shape also helps shield the front element from light rain or dust.
How much does the Sony ALC-SH180 lens hood cost?
MSRP is listed as $59.99. 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.
