Screw-in Lens Hood Shade for Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens on Nikon Z50 Zfc Z fc Replace Nikon HN-40 Lens Hood

Fits well and is lightweight.

Color is slightly darker than the lens but well made and fits perfectly! Fast shipping and excellent price.

Like some (or perhaps many) folks do from time to time, I tend to experiment using various step up rings, filters, and lens hoods to try on various lenses from different brands of cameras.I purchased two of these to use on a 37 - 46mm step up ring. The lens I was using was the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds12-32 zoom (equivalent to a 24-64mm zoom) which uses a small 37mm screw in filter ring. I wanted to attach a hood the width of the lens body - not necessarily the smallish 37MM part of the end of the lens. So I got a 37-46mm step up filter ring. I attached a 37mm filter, then a 37-46mm step-up ring, and then these Lens Hoods.Now read this so you won't be caught off guard. Trying to attach a lens cap on front of this lens hood is tricky at best - and that is because no lens hoods I had (and I have hundreds of them) would stay put. Yes, there were a few that seeming fit exactly over the lens hood, however, the edges of the hood didn't allow for the snap-on portions of the caps to engage properly. So with every try, the lens caps just would fall off and that became frustrating. In fact, I was getting ready to send these hoods back, until I found a fix - read on.The fix is that you use a 43mm lens cap, it snaps right into place on the inside of the lens hood - and it looks good and is functional, holding the cap in place. So keep that in mind. Of course, I'm referring to using these lens hoods on other lenses (not the Nikon that it was probably designed for).So yes, this particular lens hood serves the purpose quite well, looks good, but it is made out of a inexpensive-feeling plastic, so keep that in mind.

Fits perfectly on my lens on the Nikon Z50II. It does not store backwards on the lens as on a larger lens.

very handy and works if needed, built well enough to be used fine

This lens hood is VERY study, well made, and is not flexible at all. It fits my Nikon Z50 perfectly and securely both for use, and reversed for storage on the lens with no problems attaching the lens cap. I will be ordering another one of these to replace a crappy flimsy one I have for a different lens!

Despite noticeable threads on the lens hood(46mm), a lens cap of the same size will not fit when the hood is on the lens. Will have to carry the hood separately…

I got this for my Nikon Z30 that I use for videos and podcasts. It helps keep stray light out of the lens. You just screw it on the front of the lens. Simple. Inexpensive. It works.
