Message: <blockquote data-quote="WayneF" data-source="post: 466091" data-attributes="member: 12496">A hood that fit the larger threaded filter should work, if wide enough to not block the lens view.  But the polarizing filter still has to rotate, that's how they work.  That's the reason that a bayonet hood covering a filter of the right size to fit the lens can't work -  the hood covering the filter blocks being able to touch and rotate it.A polarizing filter can be used to hide reflections on glass and water, which might be aimed any direction.But a filter used to darken blue skies is aimed about 90 degrees from the sun, so a hood is not very necessary then.</blockquote>
