FAQs
What lens is the Sigma LH878-05 hood for?
The Sigma LH878-05 Lens Hood is specifically designed for the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN II Art Lens.
Does this hood prevent lens flare?
Yes, it effectively blocks stray light that can cause lens flare, leading to sharper and clearer images, especially in bright conditions.
Will this hood cause vignetting?
It may cause vignetting when shooting at the minimum focus distance at the widest focal length (24mm). For these specific conditions, the hood should be removed.
How do I attach the lens hood?
Align the hood's slots with the lens's mounting tabs, push gently, and twist clockwise until it locks securely.
Can I use this hood with other Sigma lenses?
No, the LH878-05 is designed exclusively for the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN II Art Lens and will not fit other lenses.
Is this an original Sigma part?
Yes, the LH878-05 is an official Sigma lens hood, intended as a spare or replacement for the original.
How should I clean the lens hood?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Lens hood is difficult to attach or remove.
Ensure you are using the correct lens. Check for any debris in the mounting slots on the hood or the lens mount. Apply gentle, steady pressure when attaching and removing.
Vignetting (dark corners) in photos.
This hood must be removed when shooting at the minimum focus distance at the wide-angle (24mm) end of the lens. Zoom in or focus at a greater distance to resolve vignetting.
Hood feels loose after attachment.
Re-align the hood and ensure it is rotated fully until it clicks and locks into place. If it continues to feel loose, check for damage to the locking mechanism on the hood or lens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This lens hood is exclusively designed for the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN II Art Lens. Ensure you have this specific lens model before attempting to attach the hood.
