View Similar ItemsThe dedicated Pearstone LHN-HB7 Lens Hood is a lens hood specifically designed for use with Nikon's 80-200mm f/2.8 ED D-AF Lens.
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens, by extending and shading the end of the lens. A dedicated lens hood is designed to perfectly match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.

This lens hood is the replacement for a missing Nikon hood. The hood fit over the lens and its' placement is as snug as its Nikon's counterpart.
I like the feel and the lack of added weight.
The cost is right as well. A good replacement for the cost.

This is just an okay lens hood. It does not attach in "reverse" to allow for a quick switch when you are in a situation where you need a lens hood. Instead you have to pack it away everytime you are not using it.

Comments about Pearstone LHN-HB7 Dedicated Lens Hood (HB-7):
Not too much you can say about a lens hood. I didn't want to spring for the pricier Nikon one, I bought this one at the same time I bought the lens. Very durable. Only issues I have is that it can be hard to get on the lens (almost like it is a tad too small), and you can't reverse it for storage.

Comments about Pearstone LHN-HB7 Dedicated Lens Hood (HB-7):
I bought this because I dropped my camera bag, shattered the original and the Nikon replacement wasn't in stock.
+'s The unit looks good on the lens and should provide the same protection that saved my lens last drop. It fits snug once you get it lined up.
-'s The color and texture are not a PERFECT match but close enough that it will go unnoticed by everyone but Nikon experts. If you can live with a little inperfection, or a hood that says "For Nikon" instead of "Nikon" this will do the trick.
The alignment doesn't twist on perfect, but once it's on it's snug and will work well.

For half the price of Nikon's lens hood its an awesome buy. I'm extremely happy with it. It's a little tough to attach but who cares if it does what I bought it for right?

It was a tad too small and wouldn't fit over the lens. I ended up [...] getting the Nikon HB-7 hood which fit perfectly.

Considering it won't attach to my nikon 80-200 2.8, the lens I bought it for, I'd say it's sub-par.

Works as well as OEMs hood. Has crinkled finish but color is a little off, if that matters to you.

Comments about Pearstone LHN-HB7 Dedicated Lens Hood (HB-7):
I bought this Lens hood to replace the Nikon brand. It's built stronger and fits tighter. It works great protecting my 80-200 f2.8 from lens flare and glare. I would buy again. Highly Recommended

This hood is functionally identical and very close cosmetically to the OEM hood that Nikon should have provided with the 80-200mm f2.8. Don't waste your cash buying the Nikon hood. This is all anyone needs.

this hood will shade your lense from the sun's glare. it just seem's to me that this hood should come with the lense, and you shouldnt have to be purchesed seperatly. works great.

Comments about Pearstone LHN-HB7 Dedicated Lens Hood (HB-7):
Really, this thing works perfectly just like nikon's brand hood. It's snug and has no "wiggle" and does exactly what it should. This hood actually feels a bit sturdier than nikon's. Only difference is that this one is bit more black and not textured like the nikon one.

Always skeptical when it comes to non original parts. But this hood fit my Nikon 80-200mm perfectly. A snug fit that won't shake loose.
