{"product_id":"b-w-collapsible-lens-hood-49","title":"B+W Collapsible Lens Hood 49","description":"\u003ch2\u003eB+W Collapsible Lens Hood 49 | Folds down for easier storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining choice here is the collapsible design: the B+W Lens Hood 49 can be folded down when you’re not using it, making it easier to stow than a hood that keeps its full shape. A lens hood is used to shade the lens from light arriving outside the picture, which can help reduce unwanted flare and protect contrast. That’s useful when you’re working outdoors in bright conditions, or beside a window where light is striking the front of the lens at an angle. This hood suits photographers who want that simple bit of light control without carrying a permanently extended hood. Its name includes “49”, a helpful identifier when looking for this particular B+W model. The design is straightforward: bring the hood into use when you want to shade the lens, then collapse it again for storage. It’s a practical accessory, rather than a complicated piece of kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt folds down between uses, so you can keep the hood compact in your kit and bring it out when the light calls for it. The collapsible design is the main reason to consider this model; it gives you a way to store the hood without leaving it extended. For outdoor portraits, use the hood when bright light is coming from just outside the frame. For a window-side still life, keep the window light out of the picture and use the hood to shade the lens. The “49” in the name is the identifier I’d use when searching for this exact hood. One limit: a hood can’t shade a light source that’s actually within your composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: B+W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Collapsible lens hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct name designation: 49\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B+W","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563651670356,"sku":"1098851BWZ","price":24.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/1098851BWZ_01.jpg?v=1791804910","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/b-w-collapsible-lens-hood-49","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
