Question: What kind of lens hood should I look for?

I would like to buy a lens hood thats cheap and one that DOESNT do vignetting. I have Nikkor 18-55mm VR and 55-200mm VR. The size is 52mm. What kind of lens hoods are there? I have heard of tulip hood? What does that mean?

Answer: A tulip hood is one that is not cut symmetrically… ie the top and bottom of the hood goes out farther than the sides. Here is a link to a Tulip or Petal style hood;

Getting a hood for an 18-55 that will not obstruct your light at the 18mm end is difficult. I would try a screw on rubber hood. This way you can collapse it when your at the 18mm end of your zoom. As for the 55-200mm there should be a standard hood for that lens offed by Nikon.

Question: What would be damaged, the camera or lens or both?

While fitting a lens hood on a Canon 18-55IS Lens (mounted on the 1000D/XS) I accidentally turned the focus ring (clockwise and counter clockwise, about a 1/4 turn at worst) WHILE the AF switch was engaged.

I have not repeated the error. When I did inadvertently turn it that 1/4 turn, I noticed that the resistance was fairly minor. It felt and sounded like turning a small motor shaft by hand. A friend said that in some lenses — without an FTM features — damage “could” result from turning the ring while in AF mode.

What gets damaged? The gearing in the lens, the motor? Could it damage the camera electronics itself (if camera on) by sending a small current backwards?

The camera still auto focuses but have I done any damage?
Any actual experience with this issue?
thanks?

Answer: I’ve made the same mistake myself. It will be fine. Think about a RC car…if the car is on and you turn the wheels backwards, then all it does is reverse the motor. I would have to suggest that everything will be OK, but I wouldn’t do it purposely.

Question: Would not it be advisable to make a flower 58mm lens hood for a different lens on my 58mm lens to use?

I very much prefer The styling of the flower lens hoods on the less attractive, generic Ones. You see that the 58mm lens hoods should fit any 58mm lens, I would be a mistake make picking a lens hood is not specifically made for my lens?

Answer: There are two problems with lens hoods. The first to know about – they must be the lens. Any 58mm lens hood is attached to each with a diameter of 58mm. The second was not with the focal length that the hood Designed to work with. If the lens focal length greater than the hood has been designed to have the work, it may cause vignetting – darkening the corners and possibly the corners of the frame. If the lens has a longer focal length as the hood has been designed to be with the work, the cap less effective in controlling Scattered light entering your lens. Segmented hoods, sometimes called the "flower" or "petal" hoods, have four segments instead of a continuous ring. The idea is that if you align the hood with the camera image, the existing gaps in the hood line-up with the corners of the frame – the areas where Vignetting is most likely to occur. This minimizes the risk of vignetting, although one that Hood be deeper and thus a better control of stray light. The problem with segmented Hoods is that the work, the segments must always line up with the edges of the picture frame. The design of some lenses results in a rotating front element – that is how the Lens focused on rotating the front element. If you try a segmented hood with a lens that use a rotating front element, you constantly on the hood Refocusing the lens changes as they focused spin. So the bottom line is that by focusing the front element of your lens as it spins, the lens can You do not segmented, with a hood.
