Dedicated Lens Hood for DP1 Merrill
The Sigma LH1-01 is a dedicated lens hood designed exclusively for the Sigma DP1 Merrill digital camera. It attaches securely to the lens barrel to block stray light from entering the optical path. This accessory is intended for photographers who want to protect their lens and improve image quality in challenging lighting conditions. It is a new, model-specific accessory for this compact camera system.
Suited for Glare Reduction and Physical Protection
This hood suits DP1 Merrill owners who shoot in bright sunlight or harsh lighting where flare and ghosting degrade contrast and colour saturation. It also serves as a physical barrier against accidental impacts, dust and scratches during transport or active use. Photographers using different camera models or lenses cannot use this hood, as the mounting and optical geometry are tailored to a single fixed-lens camera. Buyers needing filter threads or a collapsible rubber hood should look at other accessories.
Verify Camera Model Before Ordering
Confirm that your camera is the Sigma DP1 Merrill, as the LH1-01 will not fit other DP series models such as the DP2 or DP3 Merrill variants. Check the front of your lens barrel for the correct bayonet or screw mount style to ensure the hood locks securely. No tools are required for installation, but the hood adds a small amount of length to the camera profile, which may affect how it fits in a tight case or pouch.

Questions about this item
Which camera must I already own for this hood to attach correctly?
The LH1-01 is made exclusively for the Sigma DP1 Merrill digital camera and will not fit other models.
Will this hood interfere with filters or caps I already use on my DP1 Merrill?
The hood mounts over the lens barrel, so any filter or cap that threads onto the front of the lens must be removed before the hood is fitted.
How can I confirm the hood is reducing flare once I have fitted it?
Shoot a backlit scene with and without the hood; the version with the hood should show noticeably less ghosting and higher contrast.
