About the Brand
FOTONEER8 is a brand that supports all photographers who express "My world through the viewfinder."
Among lens hoods, FOTONEER hoods are items that will be useful for all photographers who love single-lens reflex cameras.

Before Purchase
Please carefully read the precautions and product description regarding usage.
The diameter of the hood's opening can support from 60mm to 72mm.
Please check if the diameter of your lens's mounting part is compatible.
Please confirm that there is space to attach the hood (for lenses with a focus ring always adjacent, focusing may require some skill). As the lens becomes wider-angle, vignetting may occur more easily, so it is recommended to bring the lens as close to the glass surface as possible and shoot at an angle where the lens surface and glass surface are as parallel as possible.


Larger lens diameters require more skill to attach.
Features of the FOTONEER Hood
Removes reflections reflected on windows & protects camera and lens from water droplets.
1. Removing reflections reflected on windows By attaching this lens hood, you can shoot without worrying about reflections on glass surfaces when shooting from inside towers or high-rise buildings, or from outside aquariums.
Shooting at aquariums and zoos will become even more enjoyable than before.
(*When photographing objects inside showcases, depending on the lighting, shadows from the hood may occur, so we recommend adjusting the lighting.)
2. Protects camera and lens from water droplets It also functions as a protector against water droplets.
By attaching the hood to the lens and flipping it, you can protect the camera from rain and water droplets.
Since this is a relatively large hood with a diameter of 26 cm, it also features a wide coverage area for protecting the camera (please note that this is an auxiliary role, so be cautious when shooting under adverse conditions).

Comparison 1
The FOTONEER hood is large and heavy due to its extra-large size, but because it has a long reach to the window, it is easy to shoot handheld as well as using a tripod.
*Depending on your lens and tripod, fully opening the tripod legs for shooting may be difficult.
In such cases, please adjust the tripod setup accordingly.
The size of this lens hood also demonstrates its effectiveness when flipped over.
It can cover a wider area of the lens and camera, and protect from water droplets.

Comparison 3
Two improvements: self-standing shape design The design that maintains its shape on its own has made shooting much easier.
You no longer need to hold the edge of the hood with one hand during shooting, as you can support the camera with both hands, making shooting easier.
Especially during night photography, when slower shutter speeds are necessary, being able to support the camera with both hands reduces blur.
It also maintains its shape on its own, so it can be used as a normal lens hood.
Special coating The surface is treated with a special coating that makes it less likely to attract dust and dirt.
Even if it gets dirty, it is easy to wipe clean, making maintenance simple.

Long-term Use Precautions
Size: The mounting opening of this lens hood has a diameter of 6cm, so please use it with lenses larger than 6cm in diameter (*it cannot be attached to lenses with a diameter of 6cm or less).
It can be used with lenses up to approximately 72mm.
Before purchasing, it is recommended to measure the diameter of your lens's mounting part.
.
Handling Precautions
Due to the structure that allows it to be folded, the layers are relatively thin.
Please be careful not to apply excessive force to this part when attaching or detaching.
Proper use will allow for long-term use.
It is recommended to attach it to the front of the lens so as not to interfere with zoom or focus rings.
However, if there is space, it can also be attached in the middle of the lens for shooting (may require some skill for focusing).
Avoid contact with pointed or sharp objects.
