Good Add-On Kit
This is a 3-piece accessory kit for a camera with a threaded lens (in my case, a 58mm thread). I use this kit with a Samsung NX-300 with the 18-55mm zoom lens and it fits that lens well. My experience with this kit has been mostly positive.Included in the kit are two lens hoods and one lens cap. I will discuss each separately.The lens cap is, to me, the best component in the kit. It does not look like a particularly exciting item, but in this case this lens cap actually fits my lens better than the original cap from the manufacturer. It is tight and is seated evenly on the lens assembly. As an added bonus is has a lanyard that allows it to hang on the lens barrel so it does not need to be specifically tracked when it is not in place covering the lens.The second item in the kit is a tulip hood for the lens and it is neither better nor worse than the one that came with the camera. It does an acceptable job of keeping the lens in the shade instead of allowing sunlight to hit it directly. Note that when the tulip cover is in place the lens cap will not fit.The last item in this kit is a rubber hood that works similarly to the tulip hood and it helps prevents direct light from angling in to hit the lens. This one component is the only one in the kit about which I have anything critical to say, and it’s this: when the lens is zoomed all the way in the edges of the hood can be seen in the picture. It does not take much to zoom out past it but it still merits some mention.I am satisfied with this kit. It includes two hoods and a lens cap that in my case is better than the original that came with my lens. This is a decent kit at a good price.Disclaimer: I was provided a sample of this product in exchange for a fair, honest and thorough review.
