Product Overview

Built for Pentax shooters who don’t muck around, the Pentax PH-RBG 58mm Lens Hood is a simple bit of kit that makes a big difference in the field. Designed specifically for the DA / SMCP-DA 55–300mm f/4–5.8 series, it screws straight onto the 58mm thread and lines up perfectly with the zoom range. The result is cleaner, higher-contrast images with far less flare and ghosting when you’re shooting into harsh Aussie light.

The cylindrical design extends the front of your lens just enough to block stray light without getting in the way of your framing. It also adds a solid layer of physical protection against bumps, knocks and the odd scrape in the bush or on the sideline. Lightweight, tough and purpose-built, this is the hood you throw on and leave on – a no-fuss upgrade that keeps your Pentax 55–300mm performing at its best.
