The Tamron lens hood HA065 is specifically designed for the 70-180mm F/ 2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (A065S). It effectively reduces unwanted stray light and minimizes reflections and contrast loss - for clear, high-contrast images. In addition, the lens hood helps protect the front element from side light, minor impacts, and dirt. Its precise fit ensures a secure attachment, while installation is quick and easy. TAMRON lenses are supplied with a matching lens hood as standard - this item is ideal as a replacement in case of loss or damage.
