Do lens hoods fit all lenses?
They can be used with any lens that has a matching thread size (e.g. 52mm) with internal focus. Hoods that are crafted for specific lenses have the advantage of being tailored to perfectly match the exact focal length of the lens for which they were designed.
Which lens hood is better?
Petal shaped hoods are better (because they fit better the rectangular size of the negative/sensor), but they can only be used in cameras which have a non-rotating front element. Short answer: Yes, a round tubular lens hood will always block more stray light than a petal-shaped lens hood.
When should you use a lens hood?
