Product Information

Full details

The Kase Magnetic Lens Hood and Adapter (72mm) is designed for landscape and street photographers who require a reliable, quick-attach light management system that integrates seamlessly with magnetic filter setups. Its primary benefit is the significant reduction in setup time due to the magnetic mounting mechanism, which also effectively prevents unwanted light leakage and lens flare. While this system offers exceptional speed and convenience, it is important to note that it is specific to the 72mm thread size, requiring step-up rings if you intend to use it across lenses with different filter diameters.

FAQs

Does this hood work with non-magnetic filters?

It is designed primarily for Kase magnetic filter systems. Using it with traditional filters may require specific adapters.

Can I use this with a 67mm lens?

Yes, you can use a 67mm to 72mm step-up ring to mount the hood on your lens.

Will this hood cause vignetting?

When used with standard focal lengths, the hood is designed to be clear of the field of view, though it may cause vignetting on ultra-wide lenses.

Is the hood made of metal?

The Kase magnetic system utilizes high-quality, lightweight durable materials optimized for outdoor photography.

Can I stack filters while using the hood?

Yes, the Kase magnetic system allows you to stack filters between the lens and the magnetic hood.

Troubleshooting

Hood feels loose or does not attach firmly

Check the magnetic connection surface for dirt or metal shavings; clean with a microfiber cloth to ensure a flush seal.

Hood is difficult to remove

Apply gentle pressure on the side of the hood rather than pulling straight back to break the magnetic seal easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely fast magnetic attachment and removal
Provides a secure, light-tight seal for consistent exposures
High-quality build suitable for rugged outdoor photography
Compatible with a wide range of Kase magnetic filter accessories

Cons

Specific to 72mm diameter; requires step-up rings for other sizes
Not compatible with non-magnetic legacy filter systems without an adapter
Cannot be collapsed like rubber hoods, occupying specific space in the bag

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply screw the magnetic adapter into your lens's 72mm filter thread. Once the adapter is in place, the hood will snap onto it magnetically. If your lens diameter is smaller than 72mm, use a standard step-up ring to achieve a 72mm front thread.

Care for this equipment is straightforward:

Cleaning: Wipe the magnetic surfaces with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to ensure no dust or debris interferes with the magnetic connection.
Storage: Store in a dedicated pouch to prevent the magnetic ring from attracting metallic dust or small metal objects in your camera bag.
Handling: Avoid dropping the hood on hard surfaces, as persistent impacts may affect the alignment of the magnetic ring.
