Nikon HB-32 Lens Hood for 18-135mm DX, 18-105mm DX & 18-70mm f/3.5-4.6G Lens USA
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.

There is much debate over the actual functionality of the Lens Hood beyond that of protecting the lens from bumps and falls. It has proved it's usefulness in protection not long ago when I dropped my camera bag, the hood broke to pieces and the lens was spared. However, the real purpose of the Lens hood has also proved true. When you are shooting in the bright daylight there tends to be a little thing called Lens Flare. I shot without my hood and was surprised at how apparent it was. I have heard people say that you can move around to avoid it, but I'd rather have the hood as an extra precaution. At only [$] and some change for shipping, it would be ludicras to shoot with out it.

I have the Nikon 18-70 lens and the HB-32 lens hood and I have had continual difficulty putting the hood on straight and when it stores in the inverted position over the lens it fits loosely. Due to the difficulty installing the hood for use, it frequently causes vignetting in the corners if you aren't checking the viewfinder closely and has also recently caused a large dark area in the bottom center of the photos. I just returned from a trip to Paris where I finally had to just not use the hood to prevent these problems.

Comments about Nikon HB-32 Lens Hood f/18-135mm DX, 18-105mm DX & 18-70mm f/3.5-4.6G Lens:
Pretty straightforward - reduces glare and unwanted light, while providing some physical protection for the front element. Conveniently fits multiple Nikon lenses and can store reversed on the lens for easier packing. Main downside is that it feels a bit flimsy and might break if struck; however, that would also reduce force on more expensive components, and replacing this is cheap compared to repair bills. Probably worth the few extra bucks over generic hoods for resale value.

I got what I paid for and I can't ask for anything less. I thought I lost my original hood so I ordered this one. Just my luck I found the original just yesterday but I'm still going to keep both just in case. It does what it says it will do.

Comments about Nikon HB-32 Lens Hood f/18-135mm DX, 18-105mm DX & 18-70mm f/3.5-4.6G Lens:
After dropping my Nikon D80, and breaking the mount on the HB-32 lens hood, I was worried about finding one in stock, cost, etc. I was very surprised at the moderate cost of the Nikon replacement product[...]. I used to love the metal lens hoods, as they would dent, but not break. It appears that the new hoods are meant to break, instead of the lens. Fair trade.

Comments about Nikon HB-32 Lens Hood f/18-135mm DX, 18-105mm DX & 18-70mm f/3.5-4.6G Lens:
Can't live without it, either. Especially on a lense with a broad zoom range- I bought this for my Nikkor 18mm-70mm whose lense hood broke when I fell relocating at a shoot.
This particular lense hood bayonets on/off very well, and it reverses to store against the lense very conveniently.
And consider it as insurance! The fall destroyed the lense hood but probably saved the lense!
