(Bit of a noob)
I've got a Rikenon XR 50mm 1.7, I got a UV Filter on it (which is for protection since someone told me they are more or less useless). I've heard Lens Hoods are useful but I don't know which one to get. Do I need one for my 50mm? The filter thread is 52mm. I'm worried I buy the wrong lens hood (i.e. too long - I see it in the frame, too short - it has no effect).
So can someone link me to a good lens hood? or will any 52mm do?
Thanks
