What about the shape of the front of the hoods? Why are they not perfectly round nowadays?
Hi, why do you think they should be round? In fact it would make more sense for them to be as close as possible to the sensor shape (rectangle) so that they maximise the cut off angle of light coming towards the lens but rectangle lens hood are more difficult to make and store on the lens. In other classes you will see me use a home made ‘window mask’ for flare reductiton.
Love these simple explanations and tips.
Cheers
