Would it be unwise to use a 58mm flower lens hood made for a different lens on my 58mm lens?
I greatly prefer the styling of the flower lens hoods over the less appealing, generic ones. Seeing that the 58mm lens hoods should fit any 58mm lens, would I be making a mistake picking a lens hood not made for my lens specifically?
There are two issues with lens hoods.
The first you know about - they must attach to the lens. Any 58mm hood will attach to any lens with a 58mm front diameter.
The second has to do with the focal length that the hood is designed to work with. If your lens has a wider focal length than the hood was designed to work with, you may experience vignetting - darkening of the corners and potentially the edges of the frame.
If your lens has a longer focal length than the hood was designed to work with, the hood will be less effective in controlling stray light entering your lens.
Segmented hoods, sometimes called 'flower' or 'petal' hoods, have four segments rather than one continuous ring. The idea behind them is that if you align the hood with the image frame of the camera, the gaps in the hood will line up with the corners of the frame - the areas where vignetting is most likely to occur. That minimizes the risk of vignetting while allowing the hood to be deeper and therefore more effective in controlling stray light.
The problem with segmented hoods is that to work, the segments must always line up with the edges of the image frame. The design of some lenses results in a rotating front element - that is, as the lens focuses, the front element rotates. If you try to use a segmented hood with a lens that has a rotating front element, you will constantly have to realign the hood because it will rotate as the lens focus changes.
So the bottom line is that if the front element of your lens rotates as the lens focuses, you cannot use a segmented hood.
