Nikon HB-46 Bayonet Lens Hood for AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

The Nikon HB-46 Bayonet Lens Hood is constructed for use with select Nikkor lenses particularly the AF-S DX Nikkor 35 mm f/1.8 G 4345 lens. It reduces the amount of non-essential light falling onto the front lens element, so that your lens can better achieve its optimum optical performance and produce more saturated images. Use of the specifically engineered Nikon HB-46 Bayonet Lens Hood is highly recommended especially in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, where the difference in performance and resulting output could be quite substantial without the application of a quality lens hood.
