The Nikon HB-38 Lens Hood is a dedicated bayonet lens hood designed specifically for the AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G lens. It is engineered to improve image quality by blocking unwanted stray light from entering the lens, thereby reducing flare, ghosting, and loss of contrast in bright or challenging lighting conditions.
Ideal for macro, portrait, and close-up photography, the HB-38 also serves as a protective barrier for the front element of the lens, helping shield it from accidental impacts, scratches, dust, and light environmental exposure. This is especially useful in field or outdoor shooting environments where lenses are more exposed to potential damage.
The bayonet mount design ensures a secure fit while allowing quick attachment and removal. Lightweight yet durable, the HB-38 is an essential accessory for photographers using the 105mm Micro NIKKOR lens who want improved optical performance and added lens protection.
