Product Information
Full details
The Sigma LH706-02 Lens Hood is an essential accessory for photographers using the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens who want to improve image quality and protect their glass. It effectively blocks stray light to prevent lens flare and ghosting while providing a physical barrier against accidental bumps and scratches; however, it is a model-specific accessory that is not compatible with other lens sizes.

FAQs
Can I use this with other Sigma lenses?
No, this hood is designed specifically for the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens and will not fit other models.
Does the hood interfere with lens filters?
Generally, standard-thickness filters will work, but very thick filter stacks may cause issues with the hood fitment.
Can I store the lens with the hood reversed?
Yes, the LH706-02 is designed to be reverse-mounted on the lens for more convenient storage.
Why does my image have a bright spot in the corner?
If you see a bright spot, the hood might be misaligned, or a strong light source is hitting the internal surface of the hood. Ensure it is clicked in fully.
Is the hood made of plastic or metal?
The Sigma LH706-02 is constructed from high-quality, durable polycarbonate materials optimized for weight and impact resistance.
Troubleshooting
Hood feels loose or keeps falling off
Ensure the hood is rotated fully until it clicks into the locked position; check the bayonet mount for debris.
Visible vignetting in corners of images
Verify that the hood is not cross-threaded and is seated perfectly flat against the lens barrel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the LH706-02, align the index mark on the hood with the corresponding indicator on the front of the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN lens. Rotate the hood clockwise until you hear a distinct click, confirming it is securely locked into place. This hood is compatible only with the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens. To care for your hood, wipe it down with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could mark the matte finish. When not in use, you can often reverse-mount the hood on the lens for more compact storage in your camera bag.
