77mm Tulip Lens Hood for SLR and Digital Cameras
The Vivitar 77mm tulip lens hood fits any lens with a 77mm filter thread, covering Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Pentax, Sony, Sigma and Tamron models. It screws directly onto the lens or an attached filter and includes a rear locking ring that lets the hood rotate 360 degrees for precise petal alignment. A microfibre cleaning cloth is supplied in the package.
Flare Reduction and Physical Protection Under
By extending and shading the front element, the hood blocks stray light that would otherwise cause flare and contrast loss during long sessions in bright or backlit conditions. The rigid petal profile also acts as a sacrificial barrier, absorbing minor knocks that might otherwise damage the front glass or filter threads. Exposure levels remain unchanged because the hood adds no optical elements.
77mm Thread Constraint and Rotation Limit
The accessory only mounts on lenses or filters presenting a 77mm screw thread; smaller or larger diameters cannot be accommodated. The 360-degree rotation allows full petal orientation but the hood cannot be used on bayonet-mount lenses or on filter sizes other than 77mm. No electronic communication or autofocus coupling is provided.

Questions about this item
Does the 77mm tulip hood add noticeable weight or bulk when shooting all day?
The hood is a lightweight plastic accessory that screws onto the front of the lens, adding minimal mass and no power draw, so it does not increase fatigue during extended sessions.
What must I already own for this 77mm hood to fit and function?
You need a lens or filter with a 77mm front thread; the hood screws directly onto that thread and requires no adapters, batteries or camera-body modifications.
Will the 360-degree rotating mount on this hood interfere with my older 77mm threaded filters or lens caps?
The rear locking ring lets you rotate the hood 360 degrees after it is screwed on, so you can orient the tulip petals without removing filters or caps already seated on the threads.
