As others have mentioned it does protect your lens while you are walking about with your camera over your shoulder, if in case you should bang it against an object (better you break a lens hood then a lens). Keep stray light from entering your shot.If you lost yours, or didn't get one with your lens. You can get one really cheap through Link Delight, I perfer the petal type myself.</blockquote>
