Product Overview

The Pentax PH-RBC 49mm Lens Hood is a dedicated round hood built to keep stray light off your glass and your shots clean. Designed for Pentax lenses with a 49mm filter thread – including the smc PENTAX-D FA MACRO 50mm F2.8 – it cuts flare and ghosting so your contrast, colour and fine detail stay sharp, even when you’re working in harsh Aussie sun or backlit scenes.

Made from tough, lightweight plastic and shaped specifically for this focal length, it locks on securely and stays out of your frame. As well as improving image quality, it adds a solid layer of protection for your front element against bumps, fingerprints and the odd knock in the field. Clip it on, leave it there, and get on with the shot.
