The Nikon HB-32 Bayonet Lens Hood is a screw-in lens hood for the Nikon 18-70mm, 18-135mm, 18-105mm, 18-140mm VR DX Nikkor Lenses. It is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens, and you also get the added benefit of some extra protection. The "petal" shape of this lens hood maximizes the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area.
