Compatible Lens Hood
The Pentax PH-RBA 72mm Lens Hood is designed specifically for the HD Pentax DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR lens. It serves photographers who want to reduce flare and protect the front element during everyday shooting.
Petal-Shaped Design
The petal profile matches the zoom's angle of view at 16mm while extending beyond the glass at longer focal lengths. It threads onto the 72mm filter ring without blocking focus or zoom operation, leaving the front thread free for filters.
Flare Control and Protection
The hood blocks stray light that causes ghosting and contrast loss, especially when shooting toward bright sources at wider angles. It also shields the lens from knocks and scratches, though it cannot prevent vignetting if stacked with thick filters.

Questions about this item
Will the petal-shaped hood vignette at the 16mm end of the zoom?
The hood is precision-engineered for the DA 16-85mm lens so its petal profile matches the 16mm wide-angle coverage without clipping the corners.
Does the hood add noticeable weight or wind-catch during all-day outdoor shooting?
The lightweight construction adds minimal mass and the low-profile petal design keeps wind resistance low during extended use.
Can I attach this hood directly to the lens or do I need a separate adapter ring?
It threads straight onto the 72mm front filter thread of the HD PENTAX DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR lens with no extra ring required.
