Lens hood included. Belive warranty is one year. A great lens for the average photographer. O

It comes with a hood and the warranty is one year valid only in the Americas (North, Central and South). I hope you're not buying this for Sony or Pentax though, as the OS is NOT included for such mount.

The lens I received did not come with a hood or case - just the lens in an unmarked cardboard box. It is a great lens for the price, but the packaging/lack or accessories were quite "bare-bones".

I do not recall, and do not have it at-hand. I can tell you that I have not needed a warranty -- the lens works perfectly and functions as-new. :)

It comes in a cardboard box. No hood. I bought one here on Amazon (3rd party) for $6. The lens is amazing. The cheap hood is a bit tight but it works.

No, but please note that all lenses can benefit from a hood! Check Amazon's deals for a good price!

Yes, it is. Each one can be installed and removed from your lens. One lens and lens hood can be both installed to your original lens together.

Yes it comes with a lens hood and a Tamron warranty is 6 yrs., longer than any other maker.

It should come with a lens hood, at least mine did. Check the Richo web site for a list of authorized dealers. Amazon is one but many dealers are not.

I did not receive a hood with my lens as I thought I would. A soft case was not mentioned/offered in the sale.

Yes, it is included! However.... my lens popped off again about a month after I purchased the new ones. I was so sad. :(

The hood is permanently attached (and therefore included). It also comes with a deep lens cap that grip onto the petals of the hood.

No, it does not come in official retail packaging. It does come with lens caps. No hood, it wrapped with several layers of bubble wraps. There is no warranty. I took a chance and it works well. I guess if it arrives OK, it should be OK unless you drop it on the ground or in the water.

My lens did not come with a hood. just a lens cover. Bought a hood separately.

Yes it has both the lens hood and warranty, but to be honest this is not my favorite lens. Its very hard to manually focus and that is important in macro. When you focus in and out there is a little "lag" as you change directions making it imprecise. Saw that in other reviews. It also overexposed about 1/2 stop which is not a big problem. Just thought you'd like to know.

Yes, the lens cover slides over the hood, which means the hood must be attached to the lens, however it is removable.

If you buy it new, yeah. It fits American-sold cameras (not sure if there's any difference in fitting a lens to a European or Asian camera anyway), and it has lens covers and a soft case. I can't remember if mine came with a hood or not (I think it did).
