Product Description

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

just wanted to write a quick review to let everyone know this indeed fits a Pentax K-x DSLR and is much cheaper than the official Pentax brand hood. Fits well, looks good, cheap!

I ordered this hood for my K-x 18-55mm kit lens, it fits well, easy to attach and detach. I ordered new but when it arrived it didn't look new, oh well it's not glasses, only a couple of bucks, what can I say?

I'm using it on a Pentax K-x 18-55mm lens and it seems just fine. The only drawback is that it's a bit too bulky to remain on the lens in my smallish camera bag, but it's literally a snap to pop it on and off as needed. If you've not used this style of lens hood before, note that the flanges automatically align correctly when you snap it on, so they do not appear in the image frame.
