Lens Hood (Bayonet) for 18-200mm AF-S Lens.

Flower-Type bayonet lens hood provided with select NIKKOR lenses.

Use of specifically engineered Nikon lens hoods is highly recommended.

By reducing the amount of non-essential light falling onto the front lens element, lenses can better achieve their optimum optical performance, producing more saturated images.

In less-than-ideal lighting conditions, the performance difference can be substantial.

*Compatible with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II, AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED.
