The coupling threads were not clean; had to use a very fine file to clean them to facilitate attachment to the lens. Used it on a 28-105 Nikkor DX lens without vignetting; but at 28mm on an FX or full frame you can expect to have that problem at the wide end.

I found the rubber to be of low grade. It's bulky. it does not thread properly. Tends to pop off when pulling in and out of camera bag or gently bumping something.

About the right size, heavy enough to be durable, stiffer than Hoya hood, but plastic thread are too easy to cross thread on lens. Since they're plastic this does not harm the lens/filter but it is likely to come loose.

Works well and allows me to use my original Nikon lens cap. It is a little difficult to thread onto my lens, but I like how it collapses for easy storage on or off my lens. Good hood for the money.

Lens hoods guard against uncontrolled, stray light and unwanted reflections which result in reduced contrast and possible "ghost Images". In general, the use of a lens hood is recommended because better contrast improves the appearance of the photograph. This accessory also offers protection for the front lens element against rain and mechanical damage.
Rubber Lens Hood are made out of a high quality matte black rubber. It folds down and protects against contrast - reducing, uncontrolled, stray light.
