Bower 62mm Tulip Lens Hood

The Bower 62mm Tulip Lens Hood is a petal-shaped accessory that attaches to the front of any 62mm lens to reduce lens flare, ghosting, and contrast loss caused by stray light entering the lens from outside the image frame. The distinctive tulip (petal) design is engineered for wide-angle and standard zoom lenses, extending further at the corners of the frame where vignetting is less likely, while remaining shorter at the sides to prevent the hood from appearing in the image. The result is improved contrast, richer colours, and sharper images in bright or backlit shooting conditions.

In addition to optical benefits, the Bower 62mm Tulip Lens Hood provides a physical barrier that protects the front element of your lens from accidental knocks, rain, and dust. Compatible with any lens featuring a 62mm filter thread — including lenses from Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, OM System, Sigma, and third-party manufacturers — it is a practical, affordable upgrade for any photographer. Available from Foto Discount World in Pretoria.
