Sony ALCSH144 Lens Hood for SEL70300G Black

The Sony ALCSH144 is the dedicated lens hood for the SEL70300G (FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS) telephoto zoom lens. Designed to match the exact focal length range and barrel diameter of the lens, the hood effectively blocks oblique light from entering the front element, reducing lens flare and ghosting while improving overall contrast and color saturation in your images. This is especially valuable when shooting outdoors in bright or backlit conditions where stray light can degrade image quality.

Beyond optical benefits, the ALCSH144 serves as a physical shield for the front element of your lens. Whether you're shooting on location or navigating crowded environments, the hood absorbs minor impacts that might otherwise scratch or damage the glass. Its lightweight plastic construction keeps the overall lens weight manageable, and the bayonet-style mount ensures a secure, rattle-free attachment. When not in use, the hood reverses onto the lens barrel for convenient, space-saving storage in your camera bag.
