When I first saw the EW-52 I thought it was a joke. The hood looks like an ordinary filter ring. I am afraid that it has very little efficiency in blocking the side light.
I also think about what hood to buy on my RF 35mm. I feel much better about design and size of Nikon HN-3.

That’s what you would think, right?

Wrong. The pancake hood actually works better than the HN-3 for blocking stray light.
