Sunhood Massa Cokin-type P model SB1252 — lens sunshade for filter holders

The Massa Sunhood Cokin-type P model SB1252 is a lens sunshade made for camera setups using Cokin-style P series filter holder systems. It attaches to the front of the filter holder assembly to shield the lens and inserted filters from direct sunlight and stray light sources, helping to reduce lens flare and preserve image contrast when shooting outdoors. The sunhood is compatible with typical compact and mirrorless rigs that employ Cokin P series mounts and provides physical protection for the front elements and filter glass during field use.

Advantages

The sunhood reduces unwanted glare and flare by blocking off-axis light without interfering with the mounted filter holder, which helps maintain color fidelity and local contrast in landscape and architectural photography. Its design offers added protection for the front of the lens and filters against light rain, dust and accidental knocks. The accessory is lightweight and quick to fit or remove, allowing photographers to adapt rapidly to changing light conditions while keeping the filter stack in place.

How to use

Attach the Massa sunhood to the front of the Cokin-style P series filter holder according to the holder's mounting method; ensure it sits securely and does not obstruct the filter slots or rotate into view. Position the camera and filter holder as needed, then angle the sunhood to block direct light sources that would otherwise strike the front of the lens or filters. Remove or fold away the sunhood when no longer needed or when it restricts the required field of view for wide-angle compositions.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your specific Cokin P series holder before purchase. Use the sunhood in combination with quality filters to minimize reflections and maintain contrast. For very wide-angle lenses, check for vignetting after attaching the sunhood; if vignetting occurs, consider a shorter hood or adjust shooting geometry.
