Caruba ES-68 II Zwart
The Caruba ES-68 II Zwart is a lens hood in black. It fits the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. A lens hood shields the lens from light coming in from the side, which leaves you with less flare and less colour cast across the image.

Highlights

• Lens hood model ES-68 II
• For the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens
• Colour: black
• Reduces flare and colour cast
• Protects the front element against knocks and rain
• Weighs 60 grams

How it works
Light that strikes the front element at an angle from outside the frame bounces around inside the lens. You see that as a pale haze over the photo or as coloured patches. The hood extends in front of the glass and stops that light before it gets in.

Colour
This version is black. Black is the standard colour for lenses and hoods, and the matte interior absorbs stray light that would otherwise still reach the front element.

Protection
The rim of the hood sits ahead of the glass. If the camera tips over or you knock into something, the hood meets the table or the door frame instead of your front element. In rain it also keeps the first drops off the glass.

Compatibility
The hood is made for the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. Check the manual of your lens for the matching hood model, because the fitting differs from lens to lens.
