Product Overview

Built for shooters who don’t baby their gear, the Pentax PH-RBI 58mm Lens Hood is a no-nonsense way to keep your HD Pentax-DA 55–300mm f/4–5.8 ED WR working at its best.

By extending the front of the lens, this circular hood blocks stray light that causes flare and washed-out colour, giving you punchier contrast and cleaner images in harsh Aussie sun. At the same time, it adds a solid ring of protection around the front element, helping to shield your glass from bumps, knocks and the odd wayward branch when you’re out in the field.

Slip it on, lock it in, and you’ve got a lightweight, purpose-built replacement hood that lets your telephoto zoom do its job – sharp, clear shots without the glare, and a bit more peace of mind every time you head out.
