Overview

The Sony ALC-SH174 is the dedicated lens hood for the Sony SEL2070G (FE 20-70mm f/4 G) lens. Its petal-shaped design is specifically engineered to match the field of view of the SEL2070G throughout its zoom range, effectively blocking stray light from entering the lens at oblique angles without intruding into the frame at the widest 20mm setting. This results in reduced lens flare and ghosting, which translates to improved contrast and color accuracy in your images — particularly when shooting toward bright light sources or in backlit conditions.

The hood attaches via a bayonet-type mount that clicks securely into place on the front of the lens and can be reversed for storage, keeping the overall kit compact when the hood isn't in use. Beyond its optical benefits, the ALC-SH174 also serves as a physical shield for the front element, providing an extra layer of defense against accidental contact, fingerprints, dust, and light moisture. Weighing just 0.16 pounds with compact packaging dimensions, it adds minimal bulk to your setup while delivering meaningful improvements to image quality and lens protection.

👎 Cons
