Note that the HB-33 hood has been discontinued by Nikon. The replacement is the HB-45, which costs about the same.

The fit and finish of this hood is insane... yes, it's just a lens hood, but it goes on and off silky smooth... in a fraction of a second. Really nice... I'm impressed.

Petal-shaped lens hoods are more efficient, but this one has to be round since the filter ring of the lens rotates somewhat while focusing. Has tabs on opposite sides which retract four claws on the inside so the hood can be installed or removed. The claws don't engage the filter threads as most such hoods do; they go into a groove around the filter ring which is made just for this purpose. This is a much better, easier to use and more secure design than the usual snap-on lens hoods. The hood reverses for storage on the lens. All in all it's a very desirable accessory for the 18-55mm kit lens.
