The Nikon HB-42 Lens Hood is an original Nikon accessory created for the AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED macro lens. Featuring a secure bayonet mount, the hood is designed to reduce stray light entering the lens, helping minimize flare and ghosting while improving image contrast and clarity.
This is especially useful in macro photography, close-up work, portrait photography, and shooting in bright outdoor environments where unwanted reflections can reduce image quality.
In addition to enhancing optical performance, the HB-42 also provides physical protection for the front element against scratches, dust, fingerprints, and minor impacts during transport or everyday use.
Its lightweight and durable construction ensures reliable operation while maintaining the compact handling characteristics of the 60mm Micro-NIKKOR lens.
