Hello,
What do you think?
Should I get a lens hood for my Meyer Optik Trioplan 2.9/50?
The lens front element is so tiny and dumped in the middle of a conical tunnel inside the barrel that I don't know if it worth to get a lens hood.
I've noticed a bit of lack of contrast on my photos, but it may be because of the wide aperture I'm using (f/2.9). _________________ Jaime Silva

On my Fujinon 2.2/55 I've noticed a big difference with and without a hood in some situations were the light was in front.
But that's because the lens front element is very close to the edge of the lens barrel. _________________ Jaime Silva

I like hoods because they make my camera appear even larger and embarrasses my family even further. For some reason, they find a camera that doesn't look like a phone to be undignified. Shakes head sadly.
Seriously, for lenses that don't have multicoating, I find them convenient and functional. The article above was interesting. _________________ Nikon D80 with 18/55 kit lens

I too tend to not use hoods, and because of that, lenses that require them at all times tend to not see as much use.
I generally don't worry about a loss in contrast because it's so easy to add it back in post, what does worry me is big ugly flare, not to be confused with pleasant flare, it's hard to describe the difference, but I know it when I see it. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

I have found, over the years, that some lenses benefit from a hood even when there is no direct light striking the front elements.
I am unsure why this is. I don't know of any hard and fast rule that will indicate the necessity of a hood or not, but a few images taken with or without the hood usually let me know.
Try out your lens with one and without, and see whether you can notice any difference. Hoods are as cheap as chips and come in every size imaginable.

+1
For me it's a matter of principle to use a hood. If it doesn't improve the image quality it is at least protecting the lens. On the other hand I don't use any "protecting" filters at all. _________________ Thomas Bernardy

I've started this thread because the filter size of the Trioplan 2.9/50 is not a common one (35,5mm), and it is a bit difficult to find a hood for it.
I've found a couple of vintage hoods with that 35,5mm screw, but they are much more expensive than the plastic ones i get from china or Hong Kong.
So I thought that before I pull the trigger and sped my money on an expensive hood, I would like to know other opinions.
Looks like there are no other Trioplan users visiting this thread.
Anyway, I've ordered a lens hood for my Trioplan. _________________ Jaime Silva

Buy a cheap hood, and a step ring from 35.5 to something more common like 37 or 49mm - http://srb-photographic.co.uk/355mm-step-rings-796-c.asp _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

Thank you.
I've managed to order a vintage bakelite hood in 35,5mm screw size.
It cost me just a bit more than a cheap hood + Step-up. _________________ Jaime Silva
