Original ULHgo Ultimate Lens Hood - Camera Lens Anti Reflection Lens Hood -Lens Skirt Antireflection - DSLR Rubber Lens Hoods - Fits 49mm to 82mm Lens Filter Thread - from Kickstarter
- Universal Fit - ULHgo is the medium sized and most popular ULH lens hood and will fit any lens with a diameter of 50mm or more. Fitting lenses with filter threads of 49/52mm, up to 82mm and any make including all the most popular brands Cannon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax and Nikkon.
- Anti Reflections - The ULHgo is the perfect alternative to a polarising lens filter helping to make perfect clear crisp glare free images through windows without having to photoshop images after the event. The versatile size of the ULHgo means it can replace multiple sizes of lens filter.
- Soft By Design - The ULH Lens hood is intentionally soft by design. This allows our Lens hood to fit more lenses in your bag by being stretchy. Take tighter angle one handed shots through glass without the hood lifting away and letting light leak in and finally pack down really small for the tightest space in your camera bag

Product Description

No Reflections
The best images come when there is no glass in the way, but for the times when there has to be - the ULH blocks out all reflections and lets you capture the moment perfectly.
By day, glare catches on windows, and at night reflections from inside the room completely ruin the image. Remove both of these with the ULH.
Without ULH
Look familiar? We have all taken photos like this - a great view ruined by a reflection in a window.
With the ULH fitted to the end of your lens, this disappears entirely! Shoot like the glass isn't even there.
Supporting Hand
Here is a perfect example of how best to use the ULH.
It is designed to be soft, flexible and durable.
Stretch it over the end of your lens, hold the camera in your right hand, and support the hood against the glass to block out all the light. This enables you to pan and tilt your camera to get the perfect angle!
Weatherproof Your Gear!
With the ULH fitted in reverse, you can use it to shield your camera and lens from the elements.
Perfect for landscape and wildlife photographers if you get caught out in bad weather, the ULH still gives you full access to all the control buttons and even lens controls.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So apparently the "ULHgo" featured here is the original, so I assume the others you'll find on Amazon are knockoffs. I thought I would save some money buying the least expensive knockoff, but a review mentioned that light from behind can be seen through the folds of the hood. So I decided I'd pay more for the original to have a higher quality product. Guess what? You can see light through the folds on this hood as well. (See photo.) Now if the interior lighting is relatively dim, and the outdoor is bright, this will not be a problem. But if you are trying to shoot something like a city scape at night from inside of a normally lite interior, this is not going to work if you have to shoot at an angle to the glass, or your lens is wide and is held away from the glass.
So bottom line, neat idea, not suitable for all anticipated use cases, and the quality may not be significantly better than the cheaper knockoffs, although it may be more resistant to tearing. In my case, I decided to return it, but it might work out for you.
The star ratings are always in relation to the item's intended purpose, type, and durability.
5 stars - The item is perfect with no room for meaningful improvement. The item performs its intended function consistently, and without fail. It also appears to be durable in its manufacture and materials.
4 stars - While not perfect, any imperfections are likely to go unnoticed in normal use. The item should be durable given normal care and handling.
3 stars - The item has significant short comings or limitations, but these do not significantly degrade performance. And/or the item may not be durable if not handled with some degree of care.
2 stars - The item has defects or short comings that compromise performance. And/or the item may be likely to fail prematurely even with careful use.
1 star - The item does not function correctly in any meaningful way or is very difficult or even hazardous to use. And/or the item failed completely with very little use.

I thought about trying to stiffen up the hood with electricians tape, but then I couldn't return it if it didn't work. So I'm just going to return it.

Bei der letzten Reise hatte ich so viele Bilder mit unschöne Spiegelung, was mich schon sehr geärgert hat!
Ich hatte also jetzt eine unglaubliche Zeit auf Island und dank der ULH Bilder aus dem Bus heraus ohne Spiegelung! Ich kann sie für diesen Zweck jedem wärmstens empfehlen!
Die Handhabung ist einfach, die ULH ordentlich über das Objektiv ziehen und beim Fotografieren darauf achten das sie komplett am Fenster liegt. Ein bisschen Übung erfordert es schon, so kann es schon mal passieren das man die Kamera zu weit neigt und eine schwarze Ecke von der ULH auf dem Bild hat.
Die Verpackung ist minimalistisch und wirklich ansehnlich. Die ULH ist einfach ein Gummitrichter der Fusseln magisch anzieht aber das stört überhaupt nicht!
Die ULH wird mich ab jetzt auf jeder meiner Reisen begleiten!

As one can see though the images (taken from the Shard) are not identically framed one can see the value of the hood in the second image in removing reflections (thus not having to painstakingly removed them in Photoshop).
The sole issues are getting the hood onto the lens body which can be awkward. The silicone material attracts an inordinate amount of fluff and dirt so needs to be washed regularly.
Also given that we only have two hands it can be hard to work the lens hold the camera body while keeping the hood rim firmly pressed against angled or curved glass. This more so for those with smaller hands such as myself.
But overall it works well. One other thing security may be suspicious of such an item as they were at the Shard. However the staff at the viewing platform are more than happy to allow one to use such an item.
