LENS HOOD
The
use
of a
lens
hood is recommended at all times
to
prevent
extraneous
light
from striking the
lens
surface and causing flare or ghost, and also to
protect
the
lens
against
damage
.
Nikon lens hoods
come in four types
depending
on the
lens:
screw-in, snap-on, slip-in
and
built-in.
They
are
calculated
precisely
fo
r
each focal-length
Nikkor
lens
to
provide maximum protection
against stray
light.
For example, to attach or remove the snap-on
lens
hood,
simply
depress
the
button
on either side of
the
hood. The hood
will also fit
directly
over a
screw-in filter so
both
can
be used
on a
lens
at the
56
same
time.
Use of
more
than one filter
incon-
junction with
a
lens
hood
may
cause
vignetting.
When not in
use,
the
snap-o
n
hood can
be reversed
for sto rage on
the
lens,
and
the lens
and
its hood
can
be stored together in the
eveready case.
