Good for the money, but lens hoods are always way overpriced. I marked it down only for the price, the quality and function are perfect!

First off, concerning the lens hood. It seems to be really sturdy and would work like it should. It did not fit my lens because I ordered the wrong hood.Secondly, the service department for Adorama was amazing! even though I made the mistake the return and exchange process was very smooth and not trouble at all. They processed it and had the correct hood at my door within a few days of receiving the other one back.The correct hood I have now is also sturdy and works as it should. Clicks into place just fine and securely in both normal operation mode and storage mode.

I look none further than ADORAMA online, when I need anything camera related for my Nikon DSLR. I find their website to be user-friendly, checkout easy, and delivery of purchased items to be extremely fast. Great company! The Nikon Lens Hood that I purchased, instantly upon installing it, made my photographs look even better by cutting out unwanted glare/light in certain situations.

Other than not staying on the lens it was coupled with, this was a fine product. Cheap and poorly engineered. At least the one I got. I never had a problem with Nikon lens hoods. This one stinks.

Nice lens hood. It clicks firmly in place when in use, and reverses for compact storage.

While it does the job to protect the lens and block some lights from the side, it is also very fragile. My 2 year old son held my camera and dropped it from one foot height The hood broke on the ring, this is the first and last drop the hood took.

I bought this for my AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm VR II Lens. I've been using the lens for ~1 year. Is the lens essential? Probably not. I wanted the add the hood to cut down on extra light, like a bright day at the beach or out in the snow. The hood fits perfectly to the lens that I bought earlier from Adorama.

Tried other brands though issue was fit with UV and other filter. Would not stay on . This original is correct and a very good fit, tight and sturdy.

They will not stay on the camera. Seems like they are just a bit to large for the camera. They were the recommended hoods.

I purchased this hood to offset light into the lens while taking photos. It fits any "F" style 52 MM Lens without issues, both forward and backward. It also has two alignment marks that match up with the lens to show where to start and when it is locked. Good product! I was warned about buying non genuine products for my camera. You can probably get this hood as a Chinese knockoff for a lot less but.....you be the judge.

Perfect "tulip" shape to avoid vignetting and easy to use bayonet mount. Hood can be mounted reversed for storage. Please note!!! This hood will not fit the older Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G lens, which uses the HB-45 hood. The HB-69 is designed exclusively for the GII (commonly referred to as the "VRII") lens. Also, I highly recommend that you stay with Nikon only hoods for either lens. There are cheap knock offs that are what they are; cheap! Proper fit is questionable with these cheap substitutes (I learned by making the mistake of buying one).

I bought this for my Nikon D3300 it has a great quality build but is very loose on the camera when I take it out of the bag I always have to twist it back on but other than that it is a grat product

This bayonet type hood slips smoothly into the mount on the lens. I have been shooting with it on only twice, but it helps with glare without causing shadow.

Looks and performs well on the Nikkor 18-55 VR II lens. The bayonet style mount allows for quick and easy install/removal with no filter interference.

Good Lens Hood
By NikonSuave
I believe this lens hood is meant to be used specifically on Nikon's new 18-55 VR II kit lenses, and works well. It was a little difficult to first get it on (compared to other hoods I've used), but worked fairly well. I think it might be better suited for accidental bumps and so for this reason it protects the glass.
