How many of the members here use a lens hood? How many use it just because it came with the lens? Generally speaking, shld i get one if i don't have it?
if i am shooting in teh evening,, is it a necessity to use hood. or only dayligh?
depends on your lens
for example, sometimes some lens doesn't come with lens hood because not so needed
like when the front element is within a recess, i suppose
but you should always try to use a lens hood as far as possible
especially when shooting at wide angle
always put it to prevent scratches from accidental bumping.
when u are carrying it around but what abt when u need to take it in and out of bag often? troublesome?

i'm thinking of getting it for the kit lens. :dunno:
Troublesome as in it takes up a lot of space in the bag? Not if you reverse mount it.
For me, I do not always have a UV filter on, the hood thus protects the front element from scratches and smuges.

the thing is u reverse then reverse again. not troublesome?
eeks which brand you using
i thought every kit lens comes with lens hood
so that in those ads for kit set they can make the camera seem more pro looking :bsmilie:
not at all
you can reverse it
most lens hoods are not too large, so long as you aren't using an extremely huge lens
in which case your extremely huge lens is taking extremly huge amount of space
what is some more for a lens hood? :dunno:
you will get used to it
just like you will get used to other things like
putting lens cap on
using tripod
etc etc etc
laziness is unbecoming of an earnest photographer!
for serious photog, nothing is really troublesome. see some pro slug around 10kg+ of equipment! :bigeyes:
