Nikon HB-53 Bayonet Lens Hood

The Nikon HB-53 Bayonet Lens Hood is a petal-shaped hood designed to fit select NIKKOR lenses. It helps to minimize stray light and reduce lens flare, which can degrade image quality, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

This lens hood is made of durable plastic and features a bayonet mount for easy attachment and removal.

Its scalloped design allows for wider angle shooting without vignetting. In addition to improving image quality, the HB-53 also provides some physical protection for the front element of your lens from accidental bumps and scratches.
