Not a good hood
The rubber hood fits into a grove in the plastic mounting ring. It keeps pulling off and then you have to stop and try and remount it. Right now I have a nylon cable tie around it, hoping it will keep the rubber in the ring grove.
It would be a great hood if it didn't keep falling apart.

WORKS GREAT FOR MY NEEDS
I have a Tamron 18-270 zoom lens on my D300 Nikon. Needed to use a CP filter. The Tamron OEM hood with bayonet mount would not allow me to reach inside to adjust the CP filter. I screwed the CP filter onto the lens, then this hood to the CP filter. Now when I turn the hood, the CP filter also rotates allowing for proper polarization. The Tamron OEM lens cap snaps inside the hood with no problem. I noted some vignetting from the hood in its fully extended position when my lens was at 18mm. I just collapsed the hood and the vignetting went away. Extended it back out for zoom shots. I did find that the rubber hood does drag on the inside of my bag so I need to be careful on extracting and inserting the camera in the bag so as not to tear the hood or rip it off the lens.

Good Hood
Only drawback is it's a bit challenging to install a lens cap with it in place. Most people won't even bother though.

Works as Designed
Hood stays on the camera at all times. Provides additional protection for lens while in the camera bag.
