Lens hood for Sony 16-50 f/2.8 (SAL1650)

thingiverse

Having bought a used Sony 16-50 f/2.8 that came without a hood I thought I'd have a go at making my own. I believe the shape is close to the original (based on photos and thanks to a kind member of the Dyxum forum for measuring his original version) . It seems to work OK even at 16mm without vignetting. The hood has bayonet flanges to fit the lens, but doesn't 'click' into position. Instead, to ensure correct positioning, I have included an indented line to be aligned with the red mark on the lens. It will also fit the lens in reverse. The hood was designed in OpenSCAD and the source code is included. Depending on your printer calibration and layer height, you might want to change flange_thickness (currently 1.2mm) to ensure a good fit to your lens. Increasing total_height from 50mm to 60mm will give a longer, possibly more effective, hood, though I haven't tested this yet.
