Overview

The Sony ALCSH145 is the dedicated lens hood for the acclaimed FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM (SEL70200GM) telephoto zoom lens. Designed with a petal-shaped profile, it effectively blocks stray light from entering the lens at oblique angles, reducing flare and ghosting that can wash out contrast and color in your images. This is particularly valuable when shooting toward bright light sources such as the sun or stage lighting, situations that telephoto lenses frequently encounter in sports, wildlife, and event photography.

Beyond its optical benefits, the ALCSH145 serves as a first line of physical defense for your front element. It absorbs minor impacts and keeps fingers, rain, and debris away from the glass surface. The white finish is purpose-matched to the SEL70200GM's distinctive barrel, maintaining a cohesive and professional look. Manufactured in Thailand and weighing just 4.8 ounces, it adds negligible bulk while providing meaningful protection for one of Sony's flagship lenses.
