The Nikon HB-79 Lens Hood is an original Nikon bayonet lens hood engineered for use with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens, a high-performance portrait telephoto lens. Its primary function is to block unwanted stray light from entering the lens, helping to reduce flare, ghosting, and haze while improving overall image contrast and clarity.

Designed to complement the optical performance of the 105mm f/1.4 lens, the HB-79 is particularly useful in bright outdoor lighting conditions or when shooting against strong light sources. By minimizing internal reflections, it helps maintain sharpness and rich tonal detail across the frame.

In addition to optical benefits, the lens hood provides extra physical protection for the front lens element against dust, moisture, fingerprints, and accidental impacts. The secure bayonet mount allows for quick attachment and removal, ensuring convenience during field use.

The HB-79 kit also includes a removable hood design and a soft case for safe storage and transport, making it practical for professional photographers who frequently travel or work on location.
