The HB-66 Bayonet Lens Hood from Nikon is a black petal-style lens hood designed for the AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 G lens.

Lens hoods are primarily intended to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens and causing flare. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you get the added benefit of protection from accidental impact and the elements.

The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. This dedicated lens hood is designed to match the specific focal length of its lens, deflecting stray light without extending into the frame.

Q: 1. Is this lens shade for the 70-300 lens of Nikon 1 system? If it is, why its not specified to make sure it's not for any other system.?

A: This Nikon HB-82 Bayonet Lens Hood for 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Lens is made for the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Lens. It is not made for the Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens. For the Nikon 1 lens you would need to use the Nikon HB-N110 Bayonet Lens Hood B&H # NIHBN110 . While both lenses have the same focal length and aperture, they have different names and different compatible lens hoods.

Q: 2. Would this fit a 67MM lens

A: That lens is designed for the Nikon 18-140, 18-135, 18-105 and 18-70. Those lenses all take 67mm diameter filters. However, with that said, those are the only lenses for which this lens hood is designed.

Q: 3. can this be used on the canon 18-135mm lense ?

A: Unfortunately, the Vello HB-32 is for select Nikon lenses only. A compatible hood for the Canon EF-S 18-135mm lens would be the Vello EW-73B Dedicated Lens Hood B&H # VELHCEW73B. Please see the image below for reference.
