Is lens hood an important accessory? If yes, which one is better for the 18-55 kit lens the round shaped or the flower designed. I read that the flower designed in better for the zoom lens.

Thanks

Donno about hood much other than it prevents lens flair and prevent lens glass from getting scratched....

flower one looks nicer

Most of the times I use a lens hood. I feel the more circular ones are better than the flower shaped ones. Get one for sure. Even a cheap one will do.

I dont think for wide angle lens like 18-55 hood is very useful...it may interfere in viewing angles....for a tele zoom like 55-300,70-300 and above lens hood is fine
