(More customer reviews)This Opteka 72mm Screw-in Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood sounds like a good idea - as a replacement for the more solid original Nikon lens hood. However it is quite a disappointing product. While as a stand-alone object it is rather well made, it does not function well enough as a lens hood. It tends to slip out of the lens; with Nikon's 18-200mm lens it leads to vignetting (even when it is fully collapsed) - and this is usually not always visible through the lens; this may occur with a certain zoom length, but I have not systematically researched this; lastly when the camera sits on the table the rubber gets squashed and then when you come to use the camera - the hood does not form a regular circle - perhaps contributing to the vignetting effect. I am back to the original hood.

Opteka rubber lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
