Product Overview

Built for Pentax shooters who don’t baby their gear, the Pentax PH-RBM 67mm Lens Hood is a tough, lightweight bayonet hood made specifically for the SMCP-DA 17–70mm f/4 AL (IF) lens. It snaps on securely, lines up in seconds, and gives you reliable shading at every focal length on your APS-C body.

By blocking stray light and reducing flare, it helps keep your images punchy and contrasty in harsh Aussie sun, while also adding a solid layer of protection against bumps, fingerprints and the odd knock in the field. If you’ve lost the original hood or want a spare for the kit bag, this genuine Pentax replacement keeps your 17–70mm working the way it was designed to.

Key Features

• Genuine Pentax PH-RBM 67mm bayonet-mount lens hood designed specifically for the SMCP-DA 17-70mm f/4 AL (IF) lens, ensuring a precise, secure fit every time.
• Optimised shading for a 17–70mm focal range on APS-C cameras, helping to minimise flare and ghosting for cleaner, higher-contrast images.
• Durable plastic construction keeps weight low while providing reliable protection against bumps, fingerprints and accidental knocks.
• Bayonet attachment mounts directly to the outer tabs of the lens barrel, allowing fast on/off changes when moving between shooting conditions.
• Petal-shaped design helps block stray light from entering the lens at wide angles, improving edge-to-edge image quality in bright or backlit scenes.
• Purpose-built for the Pentax SMC DA 17-70mm f/4 AL (IF) SDM, so you get consistent optical performance without vignetting or interference with the field of view.
• Acts as a first line of defence for the front element, reducing the risk of scratches and smudges when shooting or transporting your lens.
• Ideal for outdoor and travel photography, where changing light and reflections can otherwise degrade contrast and colour fidelity.
• Simple alignment marks on the hood and lens make installation intuitive, saving time when you need to react quickly to a shot.
• Compact profile slips easily into a camera bag while still offering robust protection, so you can keep it mounted and ready to shoot.
