Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood 18-55mm VR Lens (HB-45):

I read that some people use this hood and some say you don't need it. I got it because I don't want to lose a great picture some time to glare, which has happened before to me. It was cheaper than the Nikon one. The push clips seem like they may break easy so I just put it on the lens and leave it on. [...]

The Nikon 18-55mm kit lens does not include the hood. This one works fine and is less expensive than the Nikon hood.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood 18-55mm VR Lens (HB-45):

This is a pretty simple thing so a few words should suffice: it seems durable, it fits and it works. It's much lower cost than the Nikon one so I thought I'd give it a try and it was a good deal.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Dedicated Lens Hood 18-55mm VR Lens (HB-45):

Does the job. But I sent in back and got the Nikon brand. It's not as good in terms of quality, the buttons aren't as smooth and the plastic looks way cheap. The Nikon has the nicer matte-finish textured plastic that matches the lens and body and this one is just smooth plastic that's really dinky looking.But if you're not like me and don't care about cosmetics then this one would be fine.

Gotta have (and use) a lens hood. This one does the job and saves 5 bucks. Works just like the OEM unit.
