   Very nice hood. It is solidly built seems to work well. I have a UV filter attached to the lens and this attached to the filter and I did not notice any vignetting. The only reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is because I am unable to use the lens cap with the hood attached. Others have mentioned this, too. It’s not a deal breaker for me so I still think this is a great hood. Just keep in mind the lens cap isssue.

   I searched on the net for a lens hood that fits my old Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 S.S.C. wide Lens of which I bought used when I was a kid. Still love this lens on my EOS R7 with the Fotasy FD-RF adapter.I couldn’t find a new lens hood for this lens, but even the used one in “somewhat” of a good shape was really expensive at like $50 + $29 for shipping from Japan. ? One that looked beat-up located in the U.S. was still expensive! I really didn’t want that one for sure. ???Then, I came across this lens hood made by Fotasy, the same brand FD to RF mount adapter for my R7. This hood is very inexpensive compared to the used Canon hood. When I got it, it looks just the one from Canon, and it fit the FD lens perfectly even with the UV filter. I tested this lens with the Fotasy hood and the Fotasy FD-RF adapter on, and it came out pretty good.I compared th 20mm f/2.8 with 3 other RF lenses with the wide angle capability, and with either identical f/2.8 aperture, and one with the f/1.8. These RF lenses have the tulip type hood, meant for the wide-angle lenses to avoid vignetting, which is a common factor using a round lens hood.1st photo of the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM lens was taken with the aforementioned FD 20mm f/2.8 with the aperture set on “Auto” in low-light (just the window screen covering the window with the sun going down on the other side of the house) with the Fotasy hood on. I don’t notice any vignetting either. Not bad for a super old vintage lens (mid ’70s mfg. & bought it used “Like New” in the mid ’90s) with the round hood?2nd photo is the Canon FD 20mm /f2.8 S.S.C lens under the same condition with the same “Auto” aperture taken with the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM. It looks wider with the 16mm, and sometimes this is very useful with the EOS R7’s 1.6x crop APS-C sensor (photo is 1.6x bigger than a full frame sensor).3rd photo of the FD 20mm f/2.8 was taken with the RF 24mm f/1.8 STM lens. It’s more “zoomed in” with the 24mm, but a little brighter with the f/1.8 capability.4th photo of the FD 20mm f/2.8 was taken with the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens which costs $400 ~ $500 more than the EOS R7. ? It has a fast silent motor, and a fast aperture capable from the 24mm wide-angle to a 70mm focal zoom. However, when I zoomed-in on the photo taken with the RF 16mm f/2.8, it looked very similar at the same close range. However, the RF 24mm f/1.8 STM lens came out much better with a little more light-intake performance at close range.5th photo was taken with my trusty “Nokia 8.3 5G” (007 Camera?) with an 64MP APS-C sensor camera where lots of times, shown me better results over a DSLR.? The “line-up” of the lenses I used, showing the actual darkness of the room; and the 6th photo taken of the “line-up” using the “Night Mode”RF lenses tend to come out better in sharpness and color in low-light performance over the old FD lenses. The actual room is quite darker than the photo, but it came out pretty good I think. Fotasy’s round hood for my ancient “wide-angle lens” even worked flawlessly than I expected. I guess the hood is built to Canon specs with the shorter rim for the wide-angle. I started looking for a “tulip hood” for this 20mm FD lens, but couldn’t find any. Now, I know why this hood is the one for the FD 20mm f/2.8.I have only 3 ancient Canon FD lenses. 50mm f/1.8 kit lens which came with my Canon T70 bought “Like New” in the early ‘90s. Other FD lenses I have are, Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 S.S.C. purchased along with a 100-300mm f/5.6 Telephoto lens I bought used from a local camera store in the ‘mid 90s. All three of these lenses incorporate a lens hood by Fotasy, recently purchased and sold by Rainbow Imaging through Amazon, and they all work great! Vintage lens can be frustrating at times on a modern camera, but they are fun to work with overall, and makes it a good practice lens.I didn’t “Leave My Heart in San Francisco”, but I did leave my photo hobby over there; and now, just picking it back up almost two decades later. ?✌?

   First the hood screws onto the lens and fits well. The thing I really like is that the cap snaps onto the hood at the larger end and not inside at the smaller diameter. The picture is deceptive. This is a way better arrangement for my fumbling fingers. You’ll like it. I definitely recommend this combo.

   This Little Metal Lenshood for my Olympus Zuiko 14-42mm II R Lens is a Necessary Accessory which does its job with one Flaw. This is a well made and finely finished hood that easily screw on to the lens. It has a solid quality feel to it. It nicely helps with lens flare and reflections, plus it does give good protection to the vulnerable lens front element. The one missing element is that you can not use your lens cap with the hood attached. So you will need to leave it on while shooting and then remove it before carrying it in your camera bag. I am sure that you can buy a smaller lens cap to fit on this hood. I would buy this hood again and will get a lot of use out of it. Great Price.

   This hood fits perfectly on my small camcorder. When I purchase the camera I made sure it had a threaded lens. The hood, which is sturdy and simple threads on to the CPL (polarizing) lens and protects it and makes it easy to rotate. It is further protected by the included 62mm lens cap which came with the hood. It does seem to improve the video image in sunlight. It does not vignette with my wide angle setting in the camcorder. All in all a very affordable and valuable investment.
