Some of the older wide angle lens hoods were rectangular and had boxed in corners similar in appearance to a matte box. Also petal type lens hoods have to be oriented properly when they are attached to the lens but it seems that all newer lens hoods are requiring this extra bit of detail.
Really? I haven't checked a lot of lenses, but all the ones I have won't allow that to happen. If you rotate the lens 90 degrees, it pops off and has to be flipped backwards to be mounted like that. It's handy because it prevents the hood from getting in the way and allows for it to be securely stored when not in use. Sure, you can leave it on, but then you can't easily remove the lens cap in many cases. It's kind of clever, because there are two mounting points. And depending upon which way the hood is pointed, you need to screw it in opposite directions. Trying to allow it to be oriented in different directions would make it difficult to mount for storage and use.
Excellent technical explanation. I have owned the 24-70 mm MK I myself and always wondered on this upside down zoom function. Kind Regards, Jan, Denmark
Thank you 😊 Only arguable reason I can think of for the 35mm is maybe because its a macro lens But then would have made more sense for a regular hood and just remove it if necessary
"... but that video stated that petal hoods are used on zooms and cylindrical hoods are used on primes... which is simply not the case." Hey, guess which video I just watched, trying to learn about lens hoods? Somehow I don't think I'll be shelling out for their photography classes.
Hello buddy! You don´t explain why a 16:9 sensor has to have a tulip shaped hood.On my Sony camcorder there is only a rectangular hood-as seen on many movies.But for my Minolta Dimage still camera there is a tulip shaped hood.Could you explain?

Well done! Your explanation was very clear and easy for even a beginner like me to understand.
Rusty was only pretending that he was not interested in lens hoods but he was actually listening very intently while lying there. 😀
I think Rusty is my spirit animal. Excellent presentation and explanation!
This was the best video I've seen explaining this.
Best explanation about the topic in RUclips! 👏🏼
I always enjoy your videos. This one in my opinion is outstanding for the explanation.
very cool video. Great info for someone like me that's completely new to working a camera. Thank you.
Many thanks Sir!!; your review and explanation is arguably the best currently on You Tube !!!!
Short, sweet and to the point.

Wow, thanks. Would never have guessed. Now I get those smaller, filter-like "hoods" too.

Great explanation and really nifty graphics :)
Seeing your dog look at you just before you're done...he knows the words...
Appreciate this video.
Great explanation on the hood designs.
Still makes me wonder why the canon RF 35 1.8 macro has a tiny metal ring for a hood and not a petal one.
Thank you 😊

Thank you so much Mr McKeegan. Hi Rusty. :)

I like the flush fronted ones because i can set it up against glass or lay it dont on the ground
6:21 Rusty perks up just as the video is ending.
Ya, he must know the keywords that signify end of video is coming and he gets ready lol.
Thank you! I have a question: how to design a lens hood for anamorphic lens? (For example for DIY anamorphic lens)
I was today years old when I learned this. Nice 👍
Mind blown! Wow!
Excellent video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I own an RF 50mm f1.8 lense. What lens hood should I use for this? Paired with an EOS RP Camera
thanks, makes sense
Thanks a lot sir
Brilliant!
I have 18-55mm lens in canon 250d which should I buy?
what's best for a 50 mm?
So I have a 50mm lense .. what hood shall I get?
excellent
Slow news week Dave ?🤔
You forgot the Canon lens hood style, none 😅
Buy more expensive lenses. My L came with a lens hood. My cheapo canon lenses did not.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade my cheap as Chinese Lenses for E-mount include Lens hoods 😅
great!
perfect timing the Nespresso just finished whirring 😉
