Well it is Nikon so it has to be quality. I tried a knock-off version before that would not stay on. This one works perfect.

Indispensible to Control Glare

Eliminates glare from camera flash and other direct light sources without causing the vignetting of a full round hood. Only effective on lenses with internal rotation.

I recently purchased the 55-200mm lens from Ritz via Amazon. I did not get this lens hood, instead I got the HB-37. Now, I'm not sure what the real difference is. Can anyone explain?

I've taken photos with and without it, and really don't see the purpose of it. Now, I just don't use it at all, takes less time to fiddle with while out in the field. Do I need it and why?

Amazon poor marketing

This was a very disappointing purchase for me. Due to Amazon's poor marketing, they offered this lens cover along with the Nikkor 55-200mm lens for an additional price. Well, the lens came with this hood. So essentially I just paid to ship it to my house and back to Amazon, approximately $15? The product seems okay but be wary of Amazon's "good buys."

Does the job fine, but DON'T BUY IT FOR THE 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX!

Okay, this lens hood is fine. Terrific.

BUT...the 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX COMES WITH THIS ITEM! Don't "take advantage" of Amazon's "Better Together" offer for the lens:

"Buy this item with Nikon HB-34 Lens Hood for 55-200mm DX Nikkor Lens by Nikon today!"

Because then you'll own TWO of these.
