ProMaster HB-35 Lens Hood for Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lenses

Using a lens hood prevents light from hitting the front lens element from the sides, thereby reducing contrast and creating flare. Pictures taken with a lens hood will generally have richer colors and deep saturation. Lens hoods also add additional protection to your lens. ProMaster replacement lens hoods are super high quality with excellent fit and finish.
