5.0 out of 5 stars replaced by HB-45
Note that the HB-33 hood has been discontinued by Nikon. The replacement is the HB-45, which costs about the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple but somewhat lacking in coverage
I use this with the kit lens (18-55) and find that it is better than nothing, but somewhat lacking in shading ability. It is just not big enough.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal lens hood for the 18-55mm DX Nikkor, August 14, 2007

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.

Nikon... Does block the flash and pre focus light as expected. Adds protection and shades side light!

I love this hood! Just push the two buttons on opposite sides of the hood to release. To install just push the hood onto the lens. I love the fact that you don't have to deal with the fine threads on the lens.

It blocks a part of the on-camera flash on my D40 at 18mm - a little arc of darkness at the lower center of the image. I only noticed it on pictures shot in a cave.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1 minor problem, February 11, 2007
This review is from: Nikon HB-33 Lens Hood for 18-55mm DX Nikkor Lens (Electronics)
This product works very well as far as easy installation and use. I did notice that at 18mm there is a shadow cast at the bottom of the photo. I simply remove the hood when this length is necessary. Other than that the product performs very well.
