Product Information

Full details

The Nikon HB-116 Lens Hood is designed for Nikon Z 28-135mm f4 PZ lens users seeking to improve image quality by reducing stray light. Its primary benefit is minimizing ghosting and flare, especially in challenging lighting conditions. A potential drawback is its specific compatibility, limiting its use to one lens model.

FAQs

What lens is the Nikon HB-116 compatible with?

The Nikon HB-116 lens hood is specifically designed for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens.

What size filters can I use with this hood?

The HB-116 features a built-in filter window that accommodates 95 mm filters.

Does the hood help with image quality?

Yes, it helps minimize stray light, reducing ghosting and flare, which can improve image contrast and clarity.

Can I use the hood with other Nikon Z lenses?

No, the HB-116 is specifically designed and optimized only for the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens.

How do I clean the lens hood?

Wipe it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.

What is the benefit of the rectangular shape?

The rectangular shape is tailored to block stray light more effectively from the sides and top of the specific lens it's designed for, reducing flare without causing vignetting in the frame.

Can the hood be reversed for storage?

The provided information does not specify if the hood can be reversed for storage. It can be rotated vertically for shooting flexibility.

Troubleshooting

Lens hood is difficult to attach or remove.

Ensure you are using the correct lens model (NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ). Check for any obstructions or debris on the mounting points of both the lens and the hood. Gently align and twist without forcing.

Filter window does not close properly.

Verify that no part of the filter or the hood's mounting mechanism is obstructing the window. Ensure the filter is correctly seated within its bay.

Hood appears loose or wobbly after attachment.

Re-attach the hood, ensuring it clicks firmly into its locked position. If the issue persists, there may be an issue with the lens mount or hood locking mechanism, and further inspection may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The HB-116 is exclusively designed for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens. Ensure your lens model matches this specification before purchase.

Setup: To attach the lens hood, align the mounting points on the hood with the corresponding slots on the front of the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens. Gently push and twist the hood clockwise until it locks securely into place.

Filter Use: With the hood attached, access the built-in filter window by opening its cover. Insert and adjust your 95 mm filter as needed. Close the window securely afterwards.

Care: Clean the lens hood regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the hood's finish.
