Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. This dedicated lens hood is designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

Comments about Nikon HB-19 Bayonet Lens Hood:
I purchased an used 28-70mm f2.8 lens and it did not come with a hood. B & H had it and shipped it along with the lens. I compared it with an original hood that used to come with the 28-70 and it is exactly the same well built hood.

Comments about Nikon HB-19 Bayonet Lens Hood:
The hood is large enough to block light from most angles but not so large as to be in the way. Plastic construction but for the price I have no complaint.

Comments about Nikon HB-19 Bayonet Lens Hood:
In fact it is the original. Broke the one that came with my lens and put up with it falling off on to the floor for several months.
This is an exact replacement - goes on, stays on, good stuff!
Thanks B&H

Comments about Nikon HB-19 Bayonet Lens Hood:
These things seem to be a bit on the fragile side.
They are also a little fussy on the alignment when attaching in the storage position on the lens. Fortunately they are also not that expensive and they are light weight and not a big burden.

It's the hood for the 28-70 2.8. Works like the original. Build quality is awesome though it is a bit tight when putting on and taking off.

This is how all Nikon lens hood should be. It has that great matte black finish, it clicks into place securely, and has a great look to it.
I highly recommend this to anyone that has this particular lens.

Comments about Nikon HB-19 Bayonet Lens Hood:
The lens hood not only helps prevent lens flare by shading the lens from light striking it during an exposer, but it can actualy prevent damage by absorbing some of the shock, should you accidently drop the camera or lens. After experiencing a camera drop, I though the lens was a goner. Instead my lens hood took the impact and broke. The lens was fine and all I had to do was replace the lens hood. [...]
