Nikon HB-118 Lens Hood for NIKKOR Z DX 16-50 f/2.8 VR Lens

Designed specifically for the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR lens, this Nikon HB-118 Lens Hood provides essential protection against stray light whilst shielding the front element from accidental impacts. The precisely engineered shape matches the lens’s 16mm field of view, preventing vignetting whilst maximizing flare reduction across the entire zoom range.

Key Features of the Nikon HB-118 Lens Hood for NIKKOR Z DX 16-50 f/2.8 VR Lens

• Bayonet mount attachment for secure, wobble-free connection that won’t loosen during use
• Optimised petal shape prevents vignetting at 16mm whilst providing maximum flare protection
• Reversible design allows compact storage when not in use
• Provides physical protection for the front element against impacts and fingerprints

Perfect For Photographers Who Need:

• Replacement for lost or damaged original hood supplied with the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR
• Improved contrast and colour saturation when shooting in bright conditions or towards light sources

Enhanced Image Quality:

Stray light entering the lens from outside the frame reduces contrast and can create visible flare spots or ghosting. This hood blocks non-image-forming light before it reaches the front element, maintaining the lens’s optical performance in challenging lighting conditions. The improvement is particularly noticeable when shooting towards the sun, under stage lighting, or in any scenario with bright light sources near the frame edges.

Physical Protection:

Beyond optical benefits, the hood extends beyond the front element, providing a buffer zone that protects against accidental impacts when shooting in crowded environments or when placing the camera down. This protection is valuable during event coverage, street photography, or any situation where your lens might contact walls, doorways, or other obstacles.
