Overview
Nikon HN-3 Lens Hood for AF 35 mm f/2D and 35–80 mm Lenses Metal Deep Hood with 52 mm Screw Thread Black

The HN-3 lens hood is a deeper metal hood for Nikon AF 35 mm f/2D and 35–80 mm lenses. It screws onto the filter thread with a diameter of 52 mm and creates a shading collar around the front lens. This collar captures light coming from the side and reduces glare, light spots, and veiling that decrease the contrast of photographs. Images taken in sunlight or against the light appear cleaner, and colours remain vibrant. The higher shape of the hood corresponds to the longer focal lengths of these lenses.

The hood is made of metal with a matte black finish that does not reflect light. Of the three hoods in the HN series, the HN-3 is the tallest, thus providing the most thorough shading from side light. The designation HN-3 is marked directly on the hood's body, making it easy to distinguish from other accessories in your camera bag. The metal body is sturdy and suitable for everyday use at home or on the go. The shape of the hood slightly expands towards the front, creating a continuous shading collar around the front lens that protects it from side light.

Attach the hood to a clean thread and screw it in gently without using excessive force to avoid damaging the thread. If you are using a protective or polarising filter, check beforehand that it has its own thread on the front. The metal surface can be wiped as needed with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. The attached hood also protects the front lens from fingerprints, raindrops, and minor impacts.

Portrait photographers in outdoor settings, landscape photographers, urban scene photographers, and travellers who shoot throughout the day will appreciate the hood. It is also beneficial in snowy conditions, near water, or when photographing against windows, where light is strongly reflected. During evening photography, it reduces the influence of lamps, advertisements, and car lights that could otherwise create unwanted glare in the shot.

The metal HN-3 lens hood is a practical accessory for owners of Nikon AF 35 mm f/2D and 35–80 mm lenses. The screw-in attachment to the 52 mm thread is straightforward, and the hood holds securely on the lens. Its deeper shape effectively blocks light coming from the side. The matte black finish complements classic Nikon lenses. Before ordering, please verify the exact type of lens indicated on its body or on the front.
