The HB-25 Lens Hood (Bayonet) is for the Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0 85mm D-AF Zoom Lens. 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.

I have found that it always better to go with the manufacturers items than off brand when buying small items like this. They fit better and definitely last longer. I know some will say that this hood is sloppy fitting but my last off brand was so tight that it broke when trying to take it off. So I would advise to buy brand names for small equipment.

Serves its purpose pretty well
Does what it is supposed to do, my complaint is the loose fit; my solution is to thread only on the bottom and leave the top off, crossthreading creates enough of a friction fit...Read complete review

Dropped the camera, broke the lens housing and the lens hood. Nikon fixed the lens, B&H sold me the replacement hood. I'm back in business.

I purchased this as a replacement for the original lens hood that was on my 18-200mm VR lens. I lost the original during travel and was relieved to find it here at a cheap price. Overall, very satisfied with the product.

Dropped the original HB-25 for my 24-120 lens in the drink and watched it sink. The replacement snapped on perfectly and works like a charm.

I am a amateur photographer. Product was exactly as described. [...]Only problem: I am using the hood on a Nikon 24-120mm wide angle zoom. It was very diffficult to get on the lens. Seems like the hood and lens do not easily line up. Fear it will not enable me to easily attach / detatch at will.

Also works on Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-s Lens. Snaps tightly in place. Old one absorbed the shock of my camera falling from a tripod, & the camera/lens damage was minimal due to this lens hood absorbing the brunt of the impact.

Comments about HB-25 Bayonet Lens Hood for Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0 D-AF Lens:
the majority of my work is outside and in sunlight so this is a much needed item for my lens.
it reduces lens flare and reverses on the lens for easy storage.
i would recommend this item as a must have to any one buying the associated lens.
