Nikon HB-45 Lens Hood for AF-S 18-55mm Series Lens

Bayonet lens hood specifically engineered for NIKKOR lenses
By reducing the amount of non-essential light falling onto the front lens element, lenses can better achieve their optimum optical performance, producing more saturated images
In less-than-ideal lighting conditions, the performance difference can be substantial
This lens hood is compatible with the AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
