Key Benefits
Optimized Image Contrast: By extending the end of the lens, the HB-38 blocks stray light from entering at oblique angles. This prevents flare and ghosting, ensuring that your high-resolution macro shots maintain their signature sharpness and color saturation.

Essential Protection: Macro photography often requires getting very close to your subject. This hood provides a durable physical buffer, protecting the front element of your 105mm lens from accidental bumps, foliage, or fingerprints during field use.

Precision Bayonet Mount: The twist-lock design provides a secure, wobble-free fit. For added convenience, the hood is fully reversible, allowing it to stay on the lens in a “stowed” position to save space in your camera bag.

Professional Design
Cylindrical Shape: The deep, cylindrical profile is specifically matched to the 105mm focal length, providing maximum shading without interfering with the field of view.

Non-Reflective Interior: Features a matte black interior finish to further absorb internal reflections and ensure the cleanest possible light path to the sensor.
