Flower Lens Hood

What’s the difference between flower and a full lens hood?

Aside from what they look like, I mean.

When would I want to use a flower lens hood as opposed to one that’s the same length all around? Or vice versa?

A “flower” or “petal” hood is designed for a specific lens, one where the front elements to not rotate while zooming or focusing. They don’t block the corners of the image in the photo, while providing the maximum shade for the rest of the lens.

A generic rubber hood is still better than none, but can be used on any lens on which it will fit. You just have to make sure that the hood will not cause the corners of the image to vignette. Many lenses that do rotate while zooming or focusing have a round hood standard.
