This is a great product. Im glad I bought it for my Nikon AF-D 80-200. Its great to cover your lens from direct sunlight. Also great as a lens protector, although chances are that the hood is gonna break before the lens. My lens is a solid piece of rock.
Must Have Should be sold w/lens

I don't know why Nikon doesn't sell this with the lens. It is a must have for the lens. It is nice that it mounts backwards for storage.

Shouldn't be a separate purchase - should come included with the lens. That being said, it does exactly what it is supposed to do .. oh .. and makes the lens seem about three feet longer!

This hood will help keep stray light from entering lens and causing flares,ghosts and low contrast when shooting toward the sun. Brushed metal appearance matches lens barrel and provides an extra layer of physical protection for your lens.
Could have bought this item locally! But

It's a hood. It prevents stray light. It protects the lens from bumps. It's a piece of plastic. What else can be said?
Ah, while lightweight, it's bulky. So it has to be on the lens, or have a big pouch available in your backpack/bag to store it when not in use. A bit cumbersome.

If you own the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED AF-D lens or are buying one then you will have to purchase this hood for it.(Nikon doesn't include it with the lens) This is a high quality lens hood that will not only shield the lens from stray light but will also protect it from getting damaged. Don't even look at second party hoods, this is the one.

If you own the 80-200 f/2.8 lens this lens hood is a MUST. It's hard to believe that Nikon doesn't package this with the lens.....I find this lens hood much more important than the lens case that Nikon provides.
