Hello!
Recently I received a lens hood that is specifically made for the Voigtlander 58mm f1.4 for Nikon. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication between myself and the seller - the lens hood has a 52mm filter thread whereas my Voigtlander lens has a 58mm thread.
Thank you for bearing with me; here is my question:
Can I use this lens hood on any lens with a 52mm filter thread? Can I use this lens hood on my lens with a step-up ring? I've been told that using certain hoods on certain lenses can cause vignetting. Can anyone clarify the rules of lens hoods for me? I'd love to make use of this beautiful lens hood if possible!
I apologize sincerely if my question is vaguely moronic, and I thank you truly for sharing your time and erudition!
