Lens hood for Mamiya C330, C220 (55-250mm Sekor)

• Replacement for the hard-to-find original clamp-on hood: a reproduction of the classic clamp-on hoods of the Mamiya C series, covering both the taking and the viewing lens.
• Less stray light, more contrast: reduces light entering from the side and gives you better contrast in your medium format shots.
• With integrated filter adapter: the screw-in version provides a 62mm front thread on the lens's 46mm filter thread, so you can use modern filters on a classic.

Compatibility

Fits Mamiya C series cameras (C2, C22, C220, C220f, C3, C33, C330, C330f, C330s).

Version 1 and version 3 clamp onto the lens barrel and do not depend on the filter thread:

• Version 1: 55mm f/4.5, 65mm f/3.5, 80mm f/2.8, 105mm f/3.5 D / DS
• Version 3: 135mm f/4.5, Super 180mm f/4.5, 250mm f/6.3

Version 2 screws in and has a 46mm thread. The Sekor lenses were made with three different filter threads, so the same focal length can have a different thread depending on the edition:

A step-up ring from 40.5 to 46mm enlarges the opening and doesn't change anything in the image. We advise against the reverse: on the 65mm f/3.5 with a 49mm thread, a step-down ring narrows the opening in front of a wide-angle lens and vignettes the corners. For the 65mm, variant 1 is the right choice. On most Sekor lenses the filter thread size is marked on the front ring, so check there if in doubt.

Description

The original clip-on hoods for the lenses of your Mamiya C330 and the rest of the C series are hard to find these days. We make the replacements ourselves. Variants 1 and 3 are designed after the classic clip-on hoods and cover both the taking lens and the viewing lens. Variant 2 is the modern alternative for the taking lens: it screws directly into the 46mm filter thread and provides a 62mm thread on the front, so you can use common filter sizes on your Mamiya lenses.
