Nikon HB-1 Bayonet Hood
The Nikon HB-1 lens hood is an essential part of your Nikon photographic system. When the rays from a strong light source, such as the sun, strike the front surface of your lines at a shallow angle, they cause flare which can rob your photos of contrast and color saturation. The HB-1 acts to reduce stray light and minimize flare by casting a shadow across the front of the lens, thereby restoring the lost color and contrast. This lens hood also provides important shock protection if you accidentally drop or bump your lens. The HB-1 genuine Nikon hood is made of materials that prevent permanent bonding to your lens and is compatible with the AF 28-85/3.5-4.5, AF 35-70/2.8D, and AF 35-135/3.5-4.5.
