Nikon HB-40 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED USA
The dedicated Nikon HB-40 Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with the AF-S Zoom Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED 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.

Comments about Nikon HB-40 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED:
I am not the kindest person to my camera gear. I try to be but the reality is it lives a tough life. I have had my Nikon D300 plus 24-70mm lens fall from the seat of our Chevy Tahoe and from the hight of a tall bed and land directly on the lens hood. The lens hood saved my lens and camera. Finally after 4 or 5 pretty bad falls the plastic cracked and I am now purchasing a replacement. This is cheep insurance for my equipment. Plus its a pretty good sun shade.

Comments about Nikon HB-40 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED:
Received a hood with the lens but.....On a trip to Alaska my lens rolled off a small table on a small boat and apparently hit the floor on the lens hood. It broke the sleeve on the hood, but the lens survived.
While it has been a little bulky, I have purchased another and I will be using regularily. I have not tested its glare reducing capabilities, but have not seen any glare in my photos. I used this lens about 90% of the time. It is worth the weight and bulkyness.

Comments about Nikon HB-40 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED:
Got this lens hood as a replacement for the original HB-40 that came with the 24-70. Was shooting on a steep mountainside when the gravel beneath the tripod gave way and the whole setup (and myself) fell a ways down. The camera hit solid rock, landing on the hood. The hood got a crack and some plastic broke, but it saved the glass even with the 5m meter fall onto rock. It does a great job of blocking flare too.

Comments about Nikon HB-40 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED:
What can you say? It's a lens hood. But I would never shoot without one. Considering that it's on a $1,700 lens - it affords not only flare protection but protects your all too expensive glass from inadvertent impacts and scratches.It's a bit larger than you would think - about as big as the hood for the 70~200 f2.8. In my bag I reverse it and store it on the lens. Again it is wide - but also adds more protection even in the camera bag.But fits snug and secure.Don't leave home without one......
Pros
- Effective
- Reliable
Cons
- Bulky
Best Uses
- Outside sunlit areas
Comments about Nikon HB-40 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED:
This is the hood supplied with Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm lens. It mounts on the outside of the lens barrel, separate from the movable lens. Because the lens extends when set to a wide angle and retreats when set to telephoto, this mounting of the hood affords a variable shading of the lens - just what you want. However, the result is a large, bulky and somewhat clumsy hood.
