Does the job great!

Great lens hood for the money, especially when most lens hoods are way over priced!

Love these hoods

Love the bayonet type hoods. The type that screw onto the filter always leave a vinette on your shot, especially with a wide angle lens, or a zoom at the shortest focal length. These hoods attach to the outside of the lens and work great!

HB-45 clone

Nice for the price. Tight fit and doesn't rotate on the lens like genuine but so what. I recommend it without reservation.

This lens hood is as good as the original that came with my Nikon lens

This lens hood is as good as the original that came with my Nikon lens but cracked when I slipped and fell on ice over a year ago when it hit the ground. A hood of this type does not allow it to lock/twist onto the lens but that's the way Nikon designed it. Unless it gets hit sharply, it doesn't come off on its own. An original Nikon costs between ($). For ($) you're getting your money's worth here.

IT WORKS, IT FITS, IT'S CHEAPER ... PERFECT!

Yeah, what can I say about a piece of plastic? It looks like the original, fits like the original, but is cheaper than the original. Works for me. Perfect.
