The dedicated Vello HB-48 Lens Hood is specifically designed for use with Nikon's AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens. 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.

The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. The bayonet mount is designed to also work in the reversed position, allowing the hood to be placed backwards over the lens for a more compact storage solution.

Q: 1. Will this fit the 50mm z-mount

A: If you have the Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S Lens, that lens uses the Nikon HB-90 Lens Hood specifically. https://bhpho.to/3uXiuHr

Q: 2. As in picture, it showed that the hood is bendable.. Is it make from plastic or rubber?

A: The hood is not bendable, in the one image the hood is actually reversed on the lens for storage (which could leave the impression that it was folded backwards, whereas it is actually just reverse-mounted on the lens). It is made of plastic.

Q: 3. Does it fit on the Yongnuo 50mm f1.8

Q: 4. Can i use it on a AF-S 18-300mm 1:3.5-6.3G lens? Its lens cap is also 67mm

A: I bought it to put on my 18-140mm. I don't have the 18-300mm but i have tried it on my 70-300mm witch is also 67mm, and it fits as well on that lens even if it does not seem to click or to lock the same way as on my 18-140mm. Considering the price of the original lens hood for the 18-300mm (a rip off) i would take a chance.

Q: 5. vello hood for AF-P 18-55mm DX lens?

A: No, this hood is for older variations of the 18-55mm DX. For the AF-P lens you need hood model HB-N106. I think that some of the fit issues which people have is due to there being about five versions of this DX lens over the years and a little homework is required to figure out which hood is compatible.

A: Filters can be used with that lens hood.
