Light can be both an enemy and an ally in photography.

Shooting in fine weather is pleasant, but strong light can cause flare and ghosting, so you need to take measures such as using a lens hood.

In addition to such scenes, the silicon lens hood "ULH (universal lens hood)", which can be used in multiple ways, was running a great deal on our sister site machi-ya.

It seems that it is a highly versatile item that can be attached to various lenses regardless of manufacturer and can be carried compactly, so let's check the features again before the pre-sale ends!

The other side of the glass is also beautiful

Suddenly, this is one of the strengths of ULH, which is shooting through the glass.

Normally, a lens hood prevents noise, ghosting, and flares, but since it's made of hard material like metal or plastic, you'd be hesitant to put it in contact with something like glass, right?

"ULH" is made of soft silicone, so it can adhere to the target without damaging it.

In addition to cars, it is also useful in scenes where reflections are a hindrance, such as aquariums and night views.

Large but not bulky

One of the strengths of ULH is that it is compact despite its large size.

Can be worn by any manufacturer. Made of silicon Pre-sales of the lens hood will end soon

Because of the characteristics of silicon, it is soft but easy to maintain its shape, so it can be stored like a bellows bucket. I want to reduce the amount of luggage I carry when shooting, so it would be helpful.

For example, there are scenes where the lens hood is unnecessary during shooting, right?

At that time, you can fold the ULH back to the other side without removing it. You can wear it all the time, so you don't have to worry about missing important moments.

It is thick and designed so that it will not lose its shape even after repeated use. Although it has a simple shape, it has a large size and a powerful style.

Any size or manufacturer?

Since it is made of flexible silicone material, it is easy to put on by just stretching it out.

There are two types of size development, but since it is stretched, it can be attached to any lens regardless of the manufacturer as long as it is within the recommended size.

The fact that you don't have to prepare a separate hood for each lens is also kind to your wallet.

It also increases the flexibility of attaching a lens filter.

For example, if you want to attach a 58mm filter to a 52mm lens, just place it in a location that matches the ULC aperture! Thanks to this function, you can use filters for other lenses that were not used up.

Can be used as a replacement stand

Do you have trouble finding a place to put the main unit when you change lenses or batteries outdoors?

If you fold the "ULH", it becomes a simple exchange stand, so you can operate it without damaging your precious device.

The highly versatile silicone hood "ULH" that can be used regardless of manufacturer is currently running a campaign on the crowdfunding site machi-ya. At the time of writing, it was possible to order a single item from 5,000 yen (including tax and shipping), which is 20% off.
