Lens hoods are important, both for reducing flare and for protecting your lens from damage. If you lose or break a name-brand lens hood, buying the manufacturer's "genuine" replacement is typically a rather expensive solution. But since these hoods are really just mechanical "shades" and "bumpers" (and they don't optically alter the light that makes your photograph), there are no optical quality issues to be concerned with. Thus, these "third-party" replacement lens hoods work as well as the pricey originals, and cost a whole lot less! I found that this hood fit my lens perfectly.

Note that the HB-33 lens hood for the earlier (non-VR) version of the 18-55mm kit lens attaches in the same way, by spring-loaded clips that fit into a groove around the front of the lens, and will work perfectly well on the VR lens but can't be reversed on it because of the VR lens's larger diameter. That's the only reason you need the HB-45 hood instead on this lens. Also, to the fellow who complained that this hood is not flower-shaped: that's because the front component of the 18-55mm lens rotates when focusing. Flower-shaped hoods are only suitable for lenses with non-rotating front ends, since the "petals" must be aligned properly with the lens. I like these lens hoods. They are quick and easy to snap on or off the lens by pressing the buttons on the sides, and do their job well. Yes, it would be nice if Nikon included them with the lens as they do with most other lenses, but for $15 or so I don't mind paying for them.

When I got my new Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens, the first thing that I did was to purchase a 52mm UV filter, more to protect the surface of the quality glass than anything. Wanted to get a lens hood, but all the dealer could offer was a rubber collapsable 52mm lens shade that screwed into the end of the filter. I asked about the one from Nikon, but he didn't have one, telling me that his rubber one was just as good. I screwed his rubber hood onto my new lens, and took a couple of shots with it at 18mm (~28mm in 35mm film camera terms), the widest position available. On viewing the images in the LCD, one could see a vignetting (image cutoff) in the corners, which was unacceptable. Didn't argue with the salesman, but declined. Had to go to another camera store in the area that day, and while there I saw an interesting product. They are billed here as a "52mm Flower Petal Lens Hood." The price seemed right for this 'cookie-cutter' style hood, so I grabbed it. This is where I should have used more common sense: The front portion of the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens is not stationary as it focuses. It rotates as the lens is focused, and when that happens at the wide setting, it causes even more vignetting than the rubber hood . The following day came online here and ordered the Nikon HB-45 Lens Hood, which is the correct one for this lens according to the Nikon site itself. During those first couple of days before it arrived, I had a couple of occasions that I wish that I had it, as some of the shots that I was taking did have a mild amount of lens flare due to the angle of my shots where the sun hit the front of the lens. Adjusted my shooting angle slightly to reduce the problem, but it was inconvenient. When the HB-45 hood arrived, the first thing that I did was to put it on in the reverse position, as some had suggested that it might not stow away in that position. Found to my relief that is did indeed fit in the reversed position, making it very convenient for packing away in the camera bag. I then put the hood on the 18-55mm VR Nikkor zoom and found that it snapped into place perfectly when the two release tabs were pushed. The hood locks into position, and rotates with the focus movement of the front of the lens barrel itself, as it should. In the weeks that I've had it so far, it has been the perfect solution for this lens. It has exhibited no vignetting whatsoever, even at the widest (18mm) range of the lens itself. Would call this a key essential for anyone wanting to get good results consistently with this "normal" zoom, which often comes as the default choice for those purchasing the Nikon D5000 DSLR, like I have, or the extremely popular Nikon D3000 Digital SLR. In either case, it's an excellent choice... once one has put a good quality UV (or skylight) filter on the lens. It might also be suggested to any dealer reading this to stock a couple of these for those of us picky customers who want the real thing for their new lenses. If I had to take any issue with this len hood it's due to the price, but having had a variety of Nikkor lenses in the 35mm SLR days, have gotten used to it. At least this one doesn't have a problem threading into the lens they way that the old metal ones did on the old Nikkor lenses. In short, it's a worthy investment for your lens that won't vignette your images, and it does travel well in the camera bag. Highly recommended. Updated 1/17/2012: Recently saw a "52mm Hard Tulip Lens Hood for Nikon DX 18-55mm" listed here on Amazon, so I took a look at it. This is exactly the type of lens hood that I described at the beginning of this review, and they do cause image cutting or vignetting, so consider yourself warned.

Although I have not used it heavily, it does fit good and does the job. I did feel it was a bit expensive though.

This shade is great if you purchase it for the right lens, which I did not. This shade does not fit the "new style" 18-55mm VRII lens with the locking barrel. You will need a HB-69 if you have that lens. You can verify this on the Nikon web site by looking at which accessories fit your lens. Also, see the attached photo of my lens with the lock button on the barrel and the correct HB-69 shade attached. Luckily the seller is local to me and they let me come into the store and exchange it without any hassle. I now have the correct shade and I am happy.

The lens hood fits my 52mm lens. It clicks in place whether it’s going on backward to store or putting it on the correct way to shoot. Just remember to use the squeeze tabs to remove the hood.
