Accessories-Lens Hoods
The use of a lens hood is recommended at all times to
prevent extraneous light from striking the lens surface
and causing flare or ghost, and as an added measure
of protection against damage to the lens. Nikon lens
hoods come in four types depending on the lens:
Screw-In, Snap-On, Slip-On and Builtln. They are
calculated precisely for each focal-length Nikkor lens
to provide maximum protection against stray light.
To attach or remove the snap-on lens hood, simply
depress the buttons on either side of the hood. It will
also fit directly over a screw-in filter, so both can be
used on a lens at the same time. When not in use, the
snapon hood can be reversed for storage on the lens,
and the lens and its hood can be stored together in the
eveready case.
