HB 7 Lens Hood for Nikon D700 D600 D300s D90 D5100 D7000 D3200 with AF 80 200mm f/2.8D ED

The HB-7 Lens Hood is to prevent light from hitting the front lens element from the
sides.So the HB-7 could reduce contrast and creating flare. Pictures taken with this
lens hood installed can have richer colors, deeper saturation.

A secondary use for HB-7 is to protect the lens. The damage prevented can range from
a finger-printed front element to a broken front element.The Lens hoods are generally
strong and stick out from the lens some distance. Accidental touches and scratches to
the front element are reduced simply because the glass is difficult to reach. Some
impact protection is gained from having a sacrificial part taking the blow. Of course,
ultra wide angle lenses have very short hoods that offer very little protection.

The HB-7 Lens Hood provide more front lens element protection from rain and dust. Of
course, if your lens is not weather sealed, you should not let it get wet in the first
place. A clean and dry front element will allow the camera to shoot the better image
quality you expect.
