Description
The Nikon HR-1 Rubber Lens Hood is designed to prevent stray light from entering the lens and to provide added protection from accidental impact. It is specifically designed to fit the Nikon HR-1 lens and is made from durable rubber.
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.
