Mennon A-S 52 Screw Mount 52mm Hood for Standard 50mm Lens, Black Review

This is exactly what I was looking for. It's a simple plastic hood with a screw-on mount. I tested it on a Canon 50mm f1.8 lens mounted to a Digital Rebel XTi, and there was no vignetting of the image. It seems to be durable even tough it is made out of plastic. The box is compact enough to justify storing the hood inside of the box within my camera bag. Considering that other hoods cost almost twice as much, this one is a bargain.

The main function of the lens hood is to shade the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality. But it will also protect the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles and in inclement weather; it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens.

Nikon HR 2 - Lens hood Review

There are currently no reviews stating that this HR-2 hood will work without vignetting with the AF-S 35mm 1.8 DX, so I took the risk of ordering it. Even the Nikon USA website does not list this hood as an accessory to the AF-S 35mm 1.8 lens. Since the original plastic HB-46 hood included with the 35mm lens is very short, I wanted something better since I take my Nikon D40 everywhere without a camera bag. As luck would have it, this works perfectly and photos have no vignetting with this fully extended. This hood also allows the use of a 52mm Hoya UV filter. First attach any filters directly to the lens, then screw this hood on the end of the filter (the instructions provided state that any filters should attach to the actual lens first). The opposite end of the hood is also threaded, so if for any reason you wanted to mount a 52mm filter on the opposite side, you could do that as well. The original Nikon lens cap will insert perfectly. The hood extends and contracts with a high quality feel. This item is made in Japan, and I didn't mind spending a little more money for a genuine Nikon product. From the look and feel of this hood, it will last for years.
