Sony 4-580-362-01 Hood ALC-SH144 Lens Hood

Product Description

The SONY 4-580-362-01 is a factory replacement lens hood designed to fit Sony camera lenses that use the ALC-SH144 hood specification. Lens hoods block stray light from entering the lens at oblique angles, reducing lens flare and improving image contrast in bright or backlit shooting conditions. This part is sourced directly from Sony's replacement parts catalog and maintains the same fit, finish, and mounting interface as the original component. Installation requires no tools and is handled by the end user or a camera service technician.

This lens hood is intended for use with Sony Alpha system camera lenses that accept the ALC-SH144 hood designation. It is a bayonet-style accessory that attaches to the front filter thread or bayonet mount of the compatible lens. The ALC-SH144 designation identifies the specific petal or cylindrical hood geometry engineered for the matched lens focal length and image circle, ensuring the hood does not vignette the frame.

Installation Notes

Lens hoods are installed and removed by the end user without specialized tools.
