Personally I would go the later and get a collapsible rubber hood. Check out ebay, Crix in the post above has also provided a link to an option. Hope that helps.braddlesphotoblurbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086428650771390212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087926012757338143.post-65002223949644083312016-11-19T08:35:45.230-08:002016-11-19T08:35:45.230-08:00How to attach a lens hood?

On the other hand I guess if you were shooting the A7r mk 2 using the pancake in APSC mode you could still give a very useful 18 megapixels or so and if you turned off the APSC auto cropping it could be more at some focal lengths so as a stop gap for some shooters that might be OK.braddlesphotoblurbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04086428650771390212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087926012757338143.post-8369738371376643752016-11-16T22:31:57.188-08:002016-11-16T22:31:57.188-08:00I would love for Sony to make a similar lens (doub...I would love for Sony to make a similar lens (doubt it would ever be quite as small) for FE cameras but the overly, largely undeserved hate for the 16-50 makes that unlikely. The FE 28-70 is similar in that within a certain shooting envelope it does really well. Thanks for taking the time to so thoroughly test this and put together such a great guide!joel_richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431773594912718194noreply@blogger.com
