B+W 901 Lens hood, rubber, foldable 49mm

B+W Accessories

Lens Caps, Adapter Rings, and Lens Hoods

For those who want to photograph successfully and with joy, it is essential to ensure high-quality and reliable equipment. The focus should not only be on cameras and lenses but also include the small items that are often overlooked as seemingly trivial. Therefore, the B+W filter program has been expanded to include accessories that are necessary or useful in combination with filters:

Lens Hoods

The lens hood is an important accessory for better images and should always be used. In addition to shielding against stray light, lens hoods also provide effective mechanical protection for the sensitive front lens against raindrops, accidental contact (fingerprints significantly reduce contrast!), and some rough bumps. B+W lens hoods are designed to be universal and fit many lenses.

Metal Lens Hoods

B+W metal lens hoods give a reassuringly stable impression from the outside. The black anodized aluminum effectively blocks stray light, and the precisely manufactured tubes are equipped with internal grooves for even higher absorption of unwanted light.

Folding Lens Hood 900

Folding lens hoods are made from high-quality rubber. Their advantage over fixed sunshades made of plastic or metal is that they take up very little space when collapsed. This allows the lens hood to remain on the lens at all times and fits comfortably in a compact camera bag along with the camera.
