Economical, versatile and effective
I bought this hood to use on a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens on a large format view camera.It fit very well and stayed securely attached with no external support.The usual solution is a bellows-type hood with a wire frame that attaches to a beamprojecting from the front standard of the camera. By contrast. this filter is made offan-folded silicone and attaches directly to the lens.Advantages:* Collapses flat* Much more economical to buy* Opens wider* Can be used with any camera the lens/lens board will fit* Can be left on the lens if desired* Nearly indestructible: nothing to crack or rust* Soft, if you happen to run into it while ducking around your tripodDisadvantages:* Must be stretched to attach--be sure your tripod is stable or attach hood to lens beforeattaching lens to camera* Getting the hood to fold where you want it to can be a bit fiddly* Will hold a round filter--but not necessarily securely.Since I use this lens with both my 4x5" camera and my 5x7" camera,this hood was a natural choice. It collapses flat when attached,and is smaller than the lens board--so it fits right in the storage box.I also shoot miniature and medium format, mainly with Nikon lenses.Would I use this hood instead of the Nikon hood made for the lens?For a prime focus lens, probably not (the Nikon hood exactly matchesthe angle-view-of the lens, and is often has a square opening). Butfor a zoom lens, I definitely would. Zoom lenses are portable and versatile,and so is this hood. And having a good hood is especially important withzooms--which usually have many elements and groups--in order to reduceflare (including the insidious kind you can't see but that reduces contrast).Buy one of these great hoods in each size and keep them in your camerabag, and you'll never again be stuck shooting outside without a hood ona bright, sunny day.

good but
It tore I put it on a 95mm thread diameter lens and it tore. they really need to build one for larger lenses.it lakes enough structure to adjust and stay where you want itso its Ok but I am going in the direction of an Aluminum Hood and if I need More protection from a given angle of the sun use a little black 2 inch tape

Would not but again
I used it on canon 24-70 and 70 200. It fell off a couple of times and is too flimsy to stay in place when adjusted for the lens. The idea is great it folds up to carry in a camera bag and the concept is there just didn’t work for me

Incredible product, compact, easy to use
This lens hood is fantastic. I bought it for the 2 600mm lens I have because the ones that come with the lens make them really long. This lens cover not only fits on the lens without a problem, you can take it off and it folds down nicely and hardly takes up any space. On top of a great product, the supplier is first class. Super responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this product.

Easy to use and great for travel
Today I received the universal KURVD lens hood Size M 72-112. I immediately tried on on my Leica SL 24-90mm. It fits well and easy to install, but it must sit on the very thin ledge of the lens filter otherwise it affect the zoom full functionality. From 75mm through 90mm zoom there are no problems, from 75mm through 35mm I need to retract back completely the hood because it provide a severe vignetting, from 35mm through 24mm I need to remove the hood because of the persisting vignetting.Using the zoom lens from 90mm through 50mm, the hood is a great tool to make photos through a glass window. It even creates a small vacuum if I press a little bit the lens to the glass, and this helps to stabilize the camera for the shot.It works very well with prime lenses, but you need a bit of adjustments on zoom lenses.The material is great, the hood is easy to clean and super easy to carry in my camera bag already crowded.My final rate? Nice and effective. It does its job.

No funciona para lentes 95 mm
Lo puse en un Tamron 150-600 mm pero se me dañó cuando intenté sacarlo, realmente no me funcionó

An outstanding, well designed lens hood with multiple uses
After researching several different flexible lens hoods I kept coming back to the Kuvrd product. My initial reason for purchasing this type of lens hood was to take pictures through windows - and avoid the dreaded glare. I was able to install the hood successfully on several of my Sony lenses (16-35 f/4, 35mm f/1.4, 24-105mm f/4 and 70-200mm f/2.8). The fit of the product is perfect on the end of all lenses. I'm now using the hood in rainy environments to keep the front element dry - there is absolutely no way for the rain to seep in between the hood and lens. Of course the hood is perfect for getting rid of lens flare. There is a slight bit of vignetting when shooting at 16mm but it's no big deal as you can easily fix this issue by folding back one section of the hood. I love how the hood folds down flat taking up minimal space in my camera back pack. This is a well designed, high quality product that comes with a lifetime replacement warranty - I highly recommend this product.

Super versatile and easy to use
The media could not be loaded. I used the product to protect the "zoom in and zoom out" function on my lens. I shoot in pretty terrible weather conditions and by pulling the lens hood all the way down onto my zoom barrel, it protected the lens as I shot. Also it allowed me to keep ocean spray off my front lens element as well.Great over all product and I will keep using it on future shoots.

Didn't stay on my 2 Canon telephoto lenses
I so wanted this to work for me, I often shoot through glass in zoos etc and wanted an easy option to prevent the glare. However, both my telephoto lenses just wouldn't allow the hood to stay in place. If you pull it right down the lens you then can't retract the lens to its shortest length as the rubber is in the way, pulling it any further away from the camera results in it immediately falling off. Sadly it was returned.Lenses I tried it on are the EF100-400 Canon L and the RF 24-105 L.

Product tore the first time I put it on my zoom lens
Eagerly waiting for this product and it arrived on the day I was leaving for a 14-day wildlife trip. I wanted to leave the lens hoods of my RF200-800 and RF100-500 zoom lenses at home. The seller's claim that it fits 99% of lenses is false as it was a struggle to put it on my lens and the rubber tore in the process.I would definitely not recommend this product.

まったくもって夜景撮影には使えません
Nikon 24-70mm F2.8で使用するために購入しましたがかなりズームにしないとフードそのものが映り込みます。高角撮影なんてもってのほかですが光がより映り込まないように窓に押し付けたらぐにょりと隙間が出来てそこから光が映り込むという・・・。ズームにしたらレンズが出てカバーしてないのと同じような状態に。レフ板タイプでしっかりと映り込まないようなある程度の大きさがやはり必要だと痛感しました。
