I dont know how useful it really is for the 50mm 1.8 as a shade. But it does well to absorb knocks etc. Problems are that it is not a bayonet, and has to be screwed/unscrewed which is a hassle. I also am wondering about the longevity of the rubber...folding it and unfolding it may have some effect on its lifespan.

Great lens hood. I wasn't sure about a rubber hood at first, but this little guy does a great job, and is really handy. I'm a big fan of how easily the hood can be collapsed down when not in use. Great deal.

This is a must have for the 50mm 1.4 lens. I leave it on all the time and it pretty much stays out of the way when I don't need it. It's so nice to be able to just pop it open as I need it. The only big problem I have is that when it's folded closed you can't really use the manual focus ring because it's mostly covered by the hood. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it would be nice to be able to just leave it folded sometimes.

It's a well designed product, very compact, but sturdy. However, be aware that it vignettes very heavily on focal lengths under 24mm.

Works very well, fits snug, does what it is supposed to do and meets expectations. What more could you ask for.
