Dedicated to the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens, the HB-90A Lens Hood helps to minimize flare by deflecting stray light from entering the lens. The hood also provides additional protection to the lens from accidental impacts, bumps, or scratching.

The HB-90, the lens hood for Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens, is very hard to find. The HB-90A seems identical to the HB-90 except for the printing on the side. (I don't understand why Nikon can't acknowledge this in their product description.) It fits, it works, and it's solid. It's far more expensive than it ought to be, though, as are most Nikon accessories.
The small print for the 50-250mm Z DX lens reveals it comes without a hood. It does come with a six foot long, fifteen language instruction sheet on how to use the hood. A $4 hood made in Thailand could not be part of the package, apparently. Instead a $34 hood is available separately. Shame on Nikon.
