Screw Mount 58mm Flower Lens Hood for Canon Powershot SX10 IS Camera

Since Canon doesn't make Screw Mount Lens Hoods It's impossible to find a Canon 58mm Flower Lens for your Canon Powershot SX10 IS camera if you are using the 58mm Filter adapter. You received a great Canon Flower Lens hood with camera but you can't use it with 58mm Filter Adapter for Canon SX10 IS camera. I have been looking for a Screw Mount 58mm Flower Lens Hood for my Canon SX10 IS camera for nearly year now. Finally I found a 58mm Flower Lens Hood which you can use for Canon SX10 IS and Canon SX20 IS cameras.
Opteka 58mm Screw Mount Flower / Petal Shaped Lens Hood is the one fits Canon Powershot SX10 IS camera. It's plastic but it fits. Guys remember this is for your Canon Powershot SX10 IS camera not for your High end DSLR camera. This one is cheap but it works well with Canon SX10 IS camera as well as Canon SX20 IS camera. Be careful when you fit this to your 58mm Filter adapter. Don't try to fix the Lens Hood while yr adapter is on Lens barrel. First fix Lens hood to Adapter and then fit Adapter to Lens barrel. Remember Grooves on your Lens barrel of the camera important to you than this cheap Lens hood or Adapter which you can replace. So make sure you fit Lens Hood to Adapter before fixing adapter to camera. safety of camera comes first.

Installation :

Rotate lock-ring to expose the thread's mounting thread. Attach the hood by screwing it on the filter or lens thread. Rotate lock-ring back to fix the hood on the thread.  While fixating the hood with the lock-ring, keep the " " symbol on the hood exactly at 12 o'clock position for the correct perpendicular orientation of the higher sides of the hood.
