Vello HN-22 Dedicated Lens Hood (62mm Screw-On)

The dedicated Vello HN-22 Lens Hood (62mm Screw-On) is specifically designed for use with Nikon's 35-70mm f/3.5 Ai-S, 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5 Ai-S, 55mm f/2.8 AF Micro, 60mm f/2.8 AF Micro & 60mm f/2.8 D AF Micro lenses. It is primarily used to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of it. A dedicated hood is crafted to perfectly suit the specific focal length of the lens it is designed for. Additionally, this hood features a non-glare matte finish on the interior surface to further prevent or limit lens flare. Also, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
