Olympus LH-55B Lens Hood (MFT 9-18)
Olympus LH-55B Lens Hood (MFT 9-18): Shade the lens in strong backlight
Keep excess light from entering the lens in strongly backlit scenes with the Olympus LH-55B Lens Hood (MFT 9-18), a square hood made specifically for the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 lens. Its purpose is straightforward: reduce the amount of unwanted light reaching the lens when you’re shooting towards a bright source. That makes it relevant for backlit architecture, a person framed against a bright sky, or a landscape photographed towards the low sun. In each case, the scene’s lighting is the reason to fit this hood; it’s not a general-purpose accessory for any lens. The square shape is a defining detail, while its dedicated pairing is the key point to check against your kit. For owners of the named M.ZUIKO lens, the LH-55B is a focused accessory for managing strong backlight at the front of the lens.
Hood Features
- Made for the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6: This is a lens-specific hood for that Olympus lens, rather than a universal accessory.
- Square shape: Its squared design is a defining part of the LH-55B.
- Controls excess incoming light: The hood’s stated job is to prevent too much light entering the lens in strongly backlit conditions.
- For backlit photography: Use it for scenes where a bright source is behind the subject or within the view, such as a building or landscape photographed towards the sun.
Specialist Note
The LH-55B addresses backlight at the lens, rather than relying on your hand as a makeshift shade. Its square form is a distinctive part of this specific hood, and the important pairing is the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6. I’d recommend it to owners of that lens who regularly photograph buildings against a bright sky or landscapes facing the sun: fit the hood and compose with the bright source in the scene. Keep the compatibility in mind, though; this isn’t a universal hood for other lenses.
