Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
This didn't fit my Nikon 50mm 1.4 AF-S. I was very disappointed, because the description said it would fit a "50mm 1.4"...didn't realize the AF-S made a difference in the size. Not too happy that I'm going to have to send it back. If anyone out there know where to find a rubber hood for the AF-S lens, please post here!

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
The Little 50mm Nikkor lens looks a bit dwarfed sitting on my D700..and I have bumped it slightly at times...NOT any more,it sticks out,is firm yet flexible...and adds character to my little lens,somwhat like a tuxedo would.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
I lost the first one I bought, so I got a second one. Every single lens, small, big, cheap, expensive, should have it's hood. Main reason: protection.This works well as it can be folded, and still keeps it's shape.My only con, as usual, is that all lenses should come ALWAYS with their hood, but oh well, for some you have to buy them separately.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
This is the hood for the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens. It fits perfectly and does what it is supposed to do. It is rubber, but there is a benefit to being able to fold it back to stow--quick, efficient and doesn't take up space. It works with a filter too: screw filter to lens, screw hood to filter, and attach lens cap to inner ring of hood (just as you would to the lens itself). The hood also makes the lens at least look a little more substantial than it actually is (but does not add to the weight).

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
This Nikon lens hood is a perfect fit for the 50mm 1.8. The hood also "folds" up for even easier storage.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
A real necessity for the general protection of your glass and to keep flare and glare to a minimum. Being able to roll back the hood (because its rubber) when quickly changing filters is also a big plus.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
I already own a Vivitar 52mm metal hood but the Nikon rubber hood works much better. It has much less chance to damage my expensive lens and other gears.

I have noticed a slight difficulty in manual focus with my 50mm lens. I use this hood on a 2137 Nikon lens with a Nikon D60 camera.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
Good rubber lens hood for several lenses - I use mine on a 50 1.8D. It serves multiple purposes and I think it's worth the money. It's just a piece of fitted rubber, but it will help with flares and may help with stuff banging in or dropping on your lens.

Helpful accessory.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
I like the quiet no noise protection with this hood while I'm moving around to get the next shot. Slides easily into my smaller bag while backpacking. I am still able to screw on the filter I need for the conditions.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
I use most of the time an UV filter or polarizing filter on my 50 mm prime lens. Without the hood the filter will pick up side light and affect the picture. When collapsed the hood offers added protection for the camera mounted lens.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
Works great on any of the 50mm Nikkors to prevent flare and ghosting. Also adds another level of protection.
from Cincinnati, OH on 6/10/2009
Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
The HR-2 Hood is quite nice. It's very flexible rubber which makes it a perfect protection piece for the 50mm (I guess this fits any 52mm screw on lens for that matter). Mine screws right onto my UV filter and it collapses out of the way when you don't need the hood.
Great Price - Received it very quickly - no hastles either!!

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
Very cool looking hood that also works/fits on my Nikon 35mm 1.8 lens (it came with a plastic one) Wish it came with the 50mm 1.8 along with Lens bag as the 35 did!

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
This is a great, and underappreciated, accessory. The hood is light, easily attached, and flexible. And it even offers some protection to the lens. Yet, it's main function is to block ambient light, which it does. It is well worth the few dollars it costs.

In addition to providing shade for the lens it helps protect the lens from accidental damage.

from Cleveland, OH on 2/25/2009
Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
This additionally protects the lens from dings when the camera is placed down along with its intended use of reducing stray light when shooting. Its flexible rubber construction and fold-up ability is also very useful when packing for trips since rigid lens covers can take up considerable space and can also get damaged.

Does what it needs to do. Long enough for more than acceptable shading from the sun.

Folds back over the lens for easy storage. Filters need to be installed before this.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
This hood has a screw mount which is the 1st time I've seen. But, it works well. Then, the filter screws into the hood. When rolled up, the hood is wider than I expected and does not fit perfectly into my camera bag.

from Bronx, NY on 7/8/2008
Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
Costs a little more than others, but Nikon stays true to form and makes a product just *that* much better than the rest. Hood is a tad wider, deeper, and made of better rubber than any other off-brand hood I have tried for less. Does great to block the sun and folds tight and flat when not in use. Screws cleanly onto lens and filters and doesnt "gum up". Use it with my Nikon AF 50f/1.8D, 24f/2.8D, 35f/2D and 50f1.4D primes. Dont skimp here, get this hood. Its a cut above the rest.

from Costa Mesa, CA on 2/28/2008
Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
Hangs onto dust for dear life. Semi-floppy rubber body requires a lot of care or it will quickly hold a warped shape. Also, it's kind of shallow, so I can't imagine that it is shielding much of anything, unless the light you are trying to block is 90 degrees to your right or left, making it more or less worthless. Makes a short lens look more pro, that's about it.

Comments about Nikon Nikon HR-2 Rubber Hood:
Got this for my Nikon 50 f/1.4. I shoot a lot of weddings outside during sunset and the sun is always in my lens. This thing is so cool. It keeps excess light out of my lens and it folds over the lens, flat, when I don't need it so I don't have to even take it off the lens to store it. And it doesn't take up any space in my already crowded camera bag!
