Which lens hood should I choose?

← Camera

At the moment, the Universal hood is a good choice for most landscape photographers, as it offers a wide angle of view, and has the flexibility of being configurable by the end user. For portrait / wedding type photography, on longer focal lengths, the slotted hoods are very popular, offering more efficient shading on longer focal length lenses, as well as a slot for vignettes.
