Review: Nikon HB-34 Lens Hood: Two years in use and counting - Bought this Nikon HB-34 Lens Hood when the original Nikon HB-37 Lens Hood was bumped off the end of my Nikkor zoom lens by someone with protruding elbows while shooting photos from a bridge. That original hood had served me well, though the fit was a bit loose. But as I saw it sailing off the bridge into the water below, was glad that at least I had a good camera strap. It was a lesson learned the hard way. Saw the Nikon HB-34 Lens Hood for 55-200mm DX Nikkor Lens listed here on desertcart, and though it wasn't the same as the original one for my Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens , thought that it might be worth a try. After two years in constant use, can say that it was a was a good choice. Not sure why, but the original 'round' HB-37 lens hood never was a good tight fit on my lens. At the time that I bought the zoom lens, this HB-37 hood came with it, so I shrugged it off and kept using it. There was a bit of looseness to it in the way that it fit even when double checked; the bayonet mount wouldn't go as tight as one might hope. But this HB-34 lens hood has always had a good precision fit, one that one would expect from Nikon, and it continues to do so to this day. As far as lens performance goes, it's flower-type design works well for reducing the non-essential light falling onto the front lens element, especially when a filter is attached. Using a circular polarizer can be a bit tricky the first time, but the bayonet mount helps quite a bit as you can remove the hood, rotate the polarizer for maximum saturation, then mount the hood again without having lost the optimum position with the polarizer. It should be noted that I've never experienced vignetting with this hood or with the original HB-37 hood when used with the 55-200mm Nikkor zoom, but it's not advised to use it with shorter focal lengths. The HB-34 hood can be reversed on the zoom lens when you're ready to stow it in your camera bag, but you'll have to run the lens out slightly towards it's telephoto range when you do so, or it won't fit. Have been doing this since the time that I bought it here and have had no problems storing it that way. The Nikon HB-34 Lens Hood has been a good one for the 55-200mm DX Nikkor lens, and is a far better fit than the HB-34 lens hood. For some the HB-34 hood may have more of a professional cosmetic appeal, but its real benefit is in its functionality. Highly recommended as a replacement. 10/14/2012
Review: Good Lense hood - I got this, when i needed a lense hood and was hoping it would fit both of my lenses for my Nikon. Unfortunately it only fit one of my lenses. But none the less it was a good price and also looks good on my camera as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Lense hood

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Len's Flare Begone!
*by P***N on August 19, 2010*

For some reason, this level of the Nikon lenses do not come with a hood - which is peculiar as it would only cost them a few cents more. They are not that prone to lens flare without it - but it did happen hence my purchase of this item. It is a simple bayonet style mount - you push it on and turn it a few degrees to lock in place. Removal is the reverse. It is low profile enough not to make the lens subatinally longer, is very light in weight and does its job. I have not used the knock-off's - they are less but don't mount as secularly. I truly think you would be better off buying this item rather than an offbrand to save a few dollars.
