The sony 100-400 has a movable slot in the hood that, when a filter is attached, allows the user to slide open the slot and rotate the filter.

Is something amiss? My lens hood does not interfere with my CP or ND or any filter. Is there an alternate or better lens hood available.

Because I prefer to use round metal hoods on all my lenses - the preference being for protection and staying on the lens 24/7 - and capping the hood when not in use - I will super glue an adapter ring to the FRONT of the hood. Then the polarizer screws into the adapter ring and turns freely and a standard plastic cap can be used to cap the hood when not in use.

Get a screw-on lens hood that you screw onto polarizer. Then you just turn the entire hood. Very easy. I’ve been doing it for decades now. Be sure to get into the habit of turning the hood counter-clockwise to prevent accidentally unscrewing polarizer as you work.

Shoot the polarizer without the hood on. Modern coatings are very good to control reflections...unless shooting into the sun.

I never take the hood off, and frequently use a polarizer. I can simply put my finger on the front of the rim of the filter and turn it. You do not have to grip it by the side to do so. Works.

I set/rotate the filter before I put the hood on. I rarely need to change the amount of polarization after that. To verify that the filter is still properly set, just look through the viewfinder and rotate the camera. To tweak, just poke my in and rotate the filter to fine tune.

All modern era Pentax lenses-both APSC and FF have a built in rectangle built in at the bottom of their hoods. But if one has fat fingers, it is still difficult to turn the polarizer.Also remember that a polarizer also blocks stray light well.

1. Always use the hood. They're intended for use 100% of the time.

2. Remove the circular polarizer, then only re-install and use it when it actually will serve it's purpose reducing reflections, deepening the blue sky, etc. Depending upon what you photograph, a C-Pol is probably appropriate to use about 20 or 25% of the time, at most. Maybe a lot less. Even though it's the most useful of filters in the age of digital photography, there are many times when a C-Pol SHOULDN'T be used. For example, they absorb a lot of light... one to two stops worth. So leaving one on a lens too much.... particularly a telephoto that's already only f/5.6 at best... can make you use too slow shutter speeds and/or too high an ISO. Another example, when directly shooting a sunset or sunrise (or other extremely strong light source) NO FILTER should be used. In that situation, even the very best, multi-coated layers of glass will increase flare, reducing contrast and color saturation. And because a C-Pol has multiple layers of glass, it's one of the worst of all to use when photographing a sunrise/sunset or similar.

3. When using the C-Pol and needing to adjust the polarizer, temporarily remove the hood. Then replace the hood to take the photo.

A round lens hood that screws into the front of the filter is an option... allowing the entire assembly to be rotated to adjust the filter... BUT NOT IN THIS CASE. With a very wide ranging (10X +), "do-everything-even-if-none-of-it-particularly-well" zoom like an 18-200mm, you'd have to use a round hood that matches the 18mm end and does a terrible job shading the 200mm end of the range. A screw-in lens hood will usually work best with a prime instead of a zoom.... or with a telephoto to telephoto zoom like a 70-200, 100-400, etc. Screw-in hoods also usually don't reverse over a lens for convenient storage the way most bayonet mount hoods do. And, metal hoods in particular don't do as good job protecting a lens, transfer more of the shock of a drop or bump directly to the barrel of the lens... where a high impact plastic hood can absorb some of the shock and might even break away in worst cases.

It may be possible to cut a small "window" in the underside of the hood, to be able to rotate the filter. HOWEVER, keep in mind that any time you re-postion the camera and lens to vertical/portrait orientation, any window cut into the hood will no longer be on the underside, so keep it small. Lens hoods designed with this type of window usually have a sliding "door" or cover of some sort for the little window. (Otherwise I don't see much point citing Pentax and Sony lenses... which don't help the OP very much. Is he supposed to dump his Nikon gear and change brands? )

Look in Ebay or wherever you "shop" for one made for your camera or a generic brand. You can also look for several hoods that already have a slot made just for that reason. *(as in the case of my factory Pentax lens)

I have noticed over the past months that your answers to questions about photography are succinct and always correct. Just wanted you to know that there are folks who pay attention to your responses.

... or make the hole on the bottom of the hood where it will be shaded by the lens and blocked by the left hand.
