B+W Collapsible Lens Hood 55
B+W Collapsible Lens Hood 55 | Shade your lens from stray light
Less stray light reaching the front of a lens can help keep unwanted flare out of a photograph. The B+W Collapsible Lens Hood 55 is a lens hood with a collapsible design, for photographers who want a hood they can fold down when they don’t need it. Its purpose is straightforward: shade the lens from light coming in at an angle, particularly when shooting outdoors or near bright light sources. It’s worth considering if you value having a hood available but would prefer one that can be collapsed for storage or between shots. The name identifies it as the 55 version of B+W’s collapsible lens hood; it doesn’t, on its own, tell us which lenses it fits. If you’re choosing one for a particular lens, make sure the product is suitable for that lens before buying.
Specialist Note
55 is the identifier in this product’s name, giving you a clear reference for this particular B+W hood. The collapsible design is the detail I’d focus on in everyday use: you can fold the hood down when you want it out of the way, then use it extended when light is striking the lens from the side. As a lens hood, it’s intended to shade the front of the lens, so it’s most relevant for outdoor scenes or when working near a bright window. I’d consider it if you want that bit of control without keeping a rigid hood extended all the time. Just treat the fit as lens-specific, not something the number alone confirms.
For a practical result, keep the hood extended when off-axis light is causing flare or reducing contrast, and collapse it when you need a more compact setup. It won’t change the scene’s lighting; it helps shade the lens from some of that light. That makes it a simple accessory to consider when strong side light is part of your usual shooting conditions.
