Lens Hood Petal
Photography: Petal and Non-Petal lens hoods?
I was just curious, what's the difference between petal hoods, and non-petal "cup" hoods?
I'm an amateur photographer so I could be wrong, but I'd imagine that the negative space between the petals would risk allowing more light to hit the lens, which I believe is the opposite effect that is wanted.
The petal hoods are for wide angle lenses where a solid cup would (or could) vignette your image.
The longer "petals" should be at the top and bottom of the lens to cover the rectangular shape of the film/sensor.
You're right about more light hitting the lens with a petal hood, but it's a compromise between that and having dark shadows in the corners.
Always use the hood that was supplied with the lens.
