Product Overview

Built for Pentax shooters who actually get out in the weather, the Pentax PH-RBD 49mm Lens Hood is a simple bit of kit that makes a big difference. Designed specifically for the DA 50–200mm WR telephoto zoom, it extends just far enough to block stray light and flare without clipping the frame, so your shots stay clean, contrasty and usable in harsh Aussie sun.

Clip it on and you’ve got instant front-line protection for your glass. The rigid hood helps shield the front element from bumps, light rain and wind-blown grit, while the 49mm bayonet mount keeps it locked in place and easy to remove when you need to pack down fast. If you’re running a Pentax 50–200mm WR and want reliable, no-fuss protection that just works, this is the hood you bolt on and forget about.
