Lens Hood

Original equipment - flawed design by Nikon, but there is no better option.

I broke the original one by quickly dropping into a deep kneel with the lens (attached to a body) hanging from my shoulder. Protected the lens from damage.

Lost the replacement in a crowd with the 80-200 (with body) slung on one shoulder and a 200-400 (on a body) on the other.  The quick-thread-and-Click design is not very secure, so, on the replacement, I started using two small pieces of gaff tape to secure the hood to the lens.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT - Flawed, but there is no better option

Good product

After foolishly purchasing an inexpensive third party lens hood online - which looked cheap, didn't fit snugly,  and cracked the first time I used it - I bought this Nikon lens hood from Adorama. It fits properly, has a finish that matches my lens, and feels quite durable. As they say - you get what you pay for. 

Perfect Fit and Finish

HN-28 is for Nikon AF Zoom?Nikkor 80?200mm f/2.8D ED earlier version, the HB-7 can be used on later versions. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80-200mm-history.htm

Beware if you need the HN-28 Screw on

I've broken two of these in the past five years on my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 and in both instances the lens has survived without any damage. The plastic is thick but it flexes just enough to absorb impact without passing it on to the lens. It also holds up well when I duct tape plastic waterproofing to my lens and camera - the tape residue always washes off, leaving no marks. I give it four stars only because I think the price is a few dollars too high.

This Is My Lens Bodyguard

Ok, I looked at all the others out there. There were some good reviews and, yes, the items were less expensive. I decided to take the plunge and it was the correct decision. This hood fits perfectly. It stores on the lens while reversed and fits in the bag, no issues. I am suprised that we have to purchase this because, I believe, it comes as part of the package with other lenses. Still, I would buy again.

Perfect

I broke the original and bought this one for my 80-200 AF lens, looks better than the original!

Better than the original

Robust construction and perfect fit on the lens, offering a very good protection against sun and shocks. I always leave it mounted -> allows to never put the cap on the lens -> no time wasted removing the lens cap

essential accessory

A little on the pricey side but works well - sturdy and good fit

Nikon quality - a bit pricey but it work

Had to purchase this as the 3rd party hood did not fit.  The hood should have come with the lens.  The Nikon brand fits perfect.

Fit perfect

Just what I needed for a quality shade and it can be mounted backwards on the lens for travel and storage.

Great Shade and Matches too!

study, easily attaches to lens, and fits in original lens carrying case with lens

Does what it's supposed to do

The 80-200mm f/2.8 Nikon is an excellent lens that should include a hood as standard equipment. It is somewhat irritating that one has buy one in the after market.  While it appears to perform adequately, there always is the suspicion that this hood is slightly too short... this compared with what is being offered with newer equipment.

Functional

I use this lens hood on my 80-200mm.  It's well built and durable. This hood is almost always on my lens.

Great Product!!!

I bought the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED D-AF Lens when my daughter started dance and didn't realize at the time of purchase that I wouldn't be able to find the lens hood locally. Well I had another lens in my cart and decided it was time to get the lens hood and added that to my purchase as well. It's an inexpensive item, but yet one that will be on my lens everytime I use it. I am thrilled to have this lens hood just in time for major dance competition photo opportunities!

I don't know why I waited so long!

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.

Great

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.

Must Have Should be sold w/lens

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!

Not rocket sceince

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.

A necessity

I find Adorama to be a class act.  There personnel have always treated me well.

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.

Does what its supposed to do

Nikon-fits well

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.

A must have!

A necessity for use with the 80-200mm f2.8 Nikkor AF lens.

A necessity...

Good for reducing lens flare, and doubles as a "Bump Shield".

Works perfectly

As always Nikon has done their homework.  Very easy to use and mounts backwards to save space when not using lense.

Nikon HB-7 Bayonet Hood by Nikon

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.

THIS IS A MUST OWN !!!!

Fits well on the lens, keeps out stray light
