Nikon HN-3 52mm Screw-In Metal Lens Hood

Nikon's HN-3 52mm Screw-In Metal Lens Hood is an essential part of your Nikon system. By extending and shading the end of the lens, this hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens. Without the use of a hood, you can risk being robbed of contrast or colour saturation, or have your photos damaged by flare or undesired shadows.

Key points of improvement are a larger 2.5" LCD monitor, electronic masking of the focusing screen in high-speed crop mode, modified metering in high-speed crop mode, black and white mode, Adobe RGB in all colour modes, refined viewfinder performance all this and much more operating on a significantly longer battery life. The D2Xs' CMOS image sensor provides outstanding image quality, yet despite the extremely high resolution achieved by 12.4 effective mega pixels, image data is recorded at exceptionally high-speed through the use of a 4-channel output method.

In addition, this lens hood provides important shock protection should your precious lens be dropped or bumped in accident impact. Metal type hoods give extra strength and are designed to match the specific focal length of given lenses.
