Product Overview

Built for long days behind the glass, the Pentax PH-RBA86 Lens Hood is a no-nonsense upgrade for your HD PENTAX-D FA 150–450mm F4.5–5.6 ED DC AW. It locks onto the 86mm front of the lens to block stray light, cut flare and keep contrast and colour punchy when you’re shooting in harsh Aussie sun or around reflective water and sand.

The hood’s tough, circular design gives the front element a solid bit of protection from bumps, drizzle and dust when you’re working fast in the field. Designed specifically for the 150–450mm, it won’t vignette across the zoom range and can be reversed on the lens for compact carry in your pack. If you rely on your Pentax telephoto for wildlife, sports or outback work, this genuine PH-RBA86 hood is the simple, reliable bit of kit that keeps your images cleaner and your lens safer.
