Hi, I'm brand new here and I've come with a question that I couldn't solve with Google.

What is the professional term for the item at the end of the lens, which has curvatures on it? It looks as if it has something to do with light filtering, though I could be massively wrong.

It is a lens hood. It blocks incoming light from the sides for a clearer picture.
 
Was just coming back to post that I had done some more research and found out myself.

Thanks for the reply.
