What can you say? it fit the lens as intended. Easy to attach and remove.

Solid part yet incredibly difficult to put on the Nikon D3300. I still haven't gotten it to go on yet and I purchased this thing about a month ago. The one good thing is that the lens cover hasn't broken yet from the attempts!

I have a Lens of Nikon 18-55mm but it didn't fix with my lens because it was AF-P. Check it before buying, because the description don't say it.

Can't say anything more than it "works perfectly."

The original lens hood was damaged. The new one is the exact OEM replacement that I wanted. I am completely satisfied.

Would recommend Adoram; they proved reliable, timely and informative. Thanks Adorama.

The product arrived promptly and in excellent condition. It has definitely improved my pictures by reducing flare.

After a couple of years of using my hand to shield sun glare, and after sacrificing a couple of lens hoods on lenses otherwise saved during a fall, I thought that I would get a lens hood for my kit lens. I honestly do not remember if one came with the camera kit now or not. I will tell you that I get a lot of sun flare with this lens, and I expect that this hood will be helpful.

I have used the lens hood quite often since receiving. It fits, works as expected, and I am glad to have it..

Great hood for the older AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G. The hood has two detents; when pressed they retract four cams that allow the hood to be slipped over the front of the lens. When the detents are released, the spring-loaded cams engage the groove around the circumference of the front of the lens, locking it into place. The hood can also be reversed for storage. Please note! Hood will not fit the newer GII (commonly known as the VRII) lens, which has the "tulip" shape and a bayonet mount.

SNAFU is not Adorama's fault. Nikon's website is not clear in the Q & A about their two AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses. One is a VR II and the other is an ED II. This hood ONLY fits the ED II lens, not my VR II. This was MY fault, but it doesn't fit. However, Adorama's return policy worked like a charm.

Just bought the Nikon HB-45 online because no camera store on Maui had one. When I got it out of the box, it didn't fit my Nikon DX AF-S 18-55 kit lens. Nikon recommends this hood for this lens. It's a waste of money, including shipping cost.

I recently purchased this lens hood for my D3200 with the AF-S Nikkor 18-55 mm 3.5-5.6GII lens. I can't get it to stay on the lens. It doesn't snap on, there doesn't seem to be a way to mount it. What am I missing?

The shade has two mounting buttons that retract 4 lugs when pressed. The buttons work well. The shade has nice anti-reflection coating. The cylindrical design will not cut off the image when focusing, a problem for petal style shades. The shade is deeper, with better shading, than Canon's 18-55 mm kit shade. The Canon shade is bayonet mount, so you can strip the gears if you mount the shade with the auto focus engaged! Good design Nikon! A Chinese shade I purchased had no anti-reflection coating, only 3 mounting lugs worked, the interior was poorly made & the whole shade squeaked when pressing the mounting buttons. You get what you pay for.

The hood snaps onto the lens front perfectly. It's a nice fit and doesn't interfear with the front of the lens. Meaning getting lens cap on\off isn't a problem. Very satisifed with this hood.

The lens hood fit the lens for which I bought it, and does the job for which it was intended. I am perfectly satisfied with my purchase.

Finally a lens hood that snaps on and doesn't fall off and fits right

Really like this snap on lens hood; I don't like that it included with the VR lens in Japan and optional in USA. All other lens come standard with a hood. However I do like the how it locks on to the lens, very fast and secure; you can't go wrong with this hood. Bought it from Adorama, got it fast, great price and with free shipping.

Used it to provide some degree of protection and glare that otherwise can ruin a great shot!

Seems sturdy and it fits on the lens backwards for storage (I read somewhere that it wouldn't fit that way). Does what it's supposed to do so I am happy with it.

Purchased for the 18-55mm lens and it is an exact fit.

I like the way it attaches to the lens. It also stores backwards on the lens the same way. No negatives.

Works great for me! Does its job and protects the lens at the same time!

Before purchasing the Nikon HB-45, I had tried on the of 3rd party knockoff lens hoods. Big mistake. Outwardly, it looked the same, but the knockoff was difficult to put on and off and got stuck on the lens a few times. The true Nikon product is perfect. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. NB. Ordering from Adorama was a breeze and delivery was fast!

Exactly what I needed. Nikon quality. Perfect for the kit lens.

The missing hood Nikon should have included with the lens. Enough said.
