JOHN D : does this HB 31 fit correctly on an 18 140 Nikor lense??STEPHEN M : You have diffrenf size bayonet mounts then. Just call the nice folks at adorama and get the correct shadeSTEPHEN M : If the bayonet sizes match it should be ok at the wider focal lengths. However at the longer focal lengths due to the higher magnification light flare might occur. It's better to use the lens shade designed for the lens used. This is based on 15 years working for hasselblad.MAHER A : I don't really know

OEM quality as expected

OEM quality as expected. Fits perfectly with the push to release button. With this particular hood and lens it doesn't stay on very well when inverted, but no big deal.

It's a plastic lens hood....not too much to say

Fit is perfect as expected, given it is the more expensive Nikon version. I did not want to deal with possibly poor fit from 3rd party manufacturers, so I threw down on the more expensive option. Time will tell if it lasts. I purchased it to replace the genuine Nikon hood that came with my used 17-55 2.8 Nikon lens, which inexplicably developed a crack.

Very durable, gets the job done.

I bought my 17-55mm f/2.8 Nikkor used and always had issues with lens flare and ghosting, which was why I bought this hood. Well, it gets the job done, AND is made tough with a nice snap-in feature for the lens. Very well made material and worth the price.

Original Nikon HB-31 Lens Hood

It is the exact same lens hood you get when you buy a 17-55 2.8 Nikon lens. I bought this to replace my cracked original hood and it is identical.

I would buy this product again

Dropped the previous hood into the Bay of Fundy, so needed a new one. I use a hood about 95% of the time ..

Similar to HB-29, but not quite

Essentially identical to the HB-29 that comes with the 70-200 f2.8. Same heavy plastic, same push button lock. About 2/3 as long and just slightly smaller around at the mounting. Just different enough that it will not interchange with the HB-29.
