Note that the HB-33 hood has been discontinued by Nikon. The replacement is the HB-45, which costs about the same.

Wonderfully designed lens hood

A basic lens hood to reduce side light glare built to excellent standards. A simple click and the hood locks tight against the lens body. Much higher quality than I was expecting. Fits the Nikon D40 stock lens.

It does the job

This hood, for the 18-55mm DX lens is a bit smaller than the hood for my 55-200mm DX AF-S VR lens. It doesn't fit the longer lens even though they are both 52mm diameter. One thing that is nice is that you can 'store' it by flipping it around and attaching it to end of the lens (hood opening facing the camera body); although I'd remove it entirely if your shooting with the camera's built-in flash.

Excellent little item

I realized I needed one of these after a weekend in Vermont with my Nikon D40 and 18-55m lens...my best photo had an unexpected sunburst flare on the edge.

Lightweight, comes on and off in a flash, and inexpensive. Add it to your camera bag.

Not for close/macros, good otherwise

This is the easiest fitting lens hood. All you have to do is snap it on to your lens by pressing the two buttons on them. No screws etc. to worry about. It does a nice job of protecting your lens & blocking sun. But when shooting very close to your subjects, it will cast a shadow. It ruined some of my tulip macros. I've now learnt to take them off when shooting close.
