What is diameter of the lens with the lens hood mounted in the storage position. Need to buy lens case?
Asked by: Karl
While Nikon lists sizes approximately, caliper measurements of the new hood (HB-106) external diameters I find are: front (widest) = 4.75" and this tapers to 4.65" at the attachment end before the attachment itself. So when mounted reversed in the storage position, you have the 4.65" diameter out at the far end. Also, with front and rear caps attached, and the hood mounted in reverse for storage, plus my usual UV filter (which adds 3.75mm or 0.15"), the overall length measures closer to 6.50". I would account for the caps, etc., in storage containers.
