Mimo Tech

Mimo Tech 55 mm Screw-In Square Lens Hood

SKU CH-VG0A-GRGRA

Square screw-in lens hood fits 55 mm front threads and blocks stray light to reduce flare

  • Reduces unwanted flare with tulip-shaped square design
  • Screw-in mounting fits 55 mm filter threads directly
  • Square profile blocks stray light from corners
  • Lightweight attachment adds no bulk to lens
  • Compatible with 49 mm and 55 mm front diameters

Square tulip design

This Mimo Tech lens hood attaches directly to a 55 mm filter thread using a screw-in mount. The square tulip profile blocks stray light from entering the front element, reducing flare and ghosting in high-contrast scenes. It is intended for photographers who want a lightweight, dedicated shade for a single lens diameter. The hood stays fixed in orientation once tightened.

For prime and zoom lenses with 55 mm threads

Shooters using lenses that accept 55 mm filters will find this hood matches the thread exactly. It is not suited to lenses with smaller or larger front threads, nor to systems that rely on bayonet or clip-on hoods. Photographers who need a collapsible rubber hood for packing into tight bags should consider a different style.

Screw-in fastening for 55 mm filter thread

The only attachment method is a male 55 mm thread that screws into the lens filter ring. No adapter rings, step-up rings or bayonet mounts are included. If your lens front does not present a 55 mm female thread, this hood cannot be used.

Questions about this item

Does the square tulip shape of the 55 mm hood create any wind noise or heat buildup during all-day shooting?

The hood is a passive plastic shade with no moving parts, so it adds no fan noise, no electronic heat and no power draw during extended use.

What thread size must my lens already have for this screw-in hood to fit?

Your lens needs a 55 mm front filter thread; the hood screws directly onto that thread without adapters.

Will this 55 mm square hood vignette on my older lens that only accepts 49 mm filters?

It will not fit a 49 mm thread at all; you would need a 55 mm thread or a step-up ring to mount it.
