Bower 72mm Tulip Lens Hood

The Bower 72mm Tulip Lens Hood is a petal-shaped lens accessory that mounts to the front of any 72mm lens to block stray light from entering the lens outside the image frame, reducing flare, ghosting, and contrast loss in bright or backlit shooting conditions. The tulip design is specifically shaped for wide-angle and standard zoom lenses, with extended petals at the corners and shorter sides to maximise flare protection without causing vignetting. The result is noticeably improved contrast, more saturated colours, and sharper, cleaner images straight from the camera.

The 72mm thread size is common across a wide range of telephoto and zoom lenses from Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, OM System, Sigma, and third-party manufacturers, making the Bower 72mm Tulip Lens Hood a versatile, widely compatible accessory. It also provides physical protection for the front element of your lens against knocks, rain, and dust. Available from Foto Discount World in Pretoria.
