No, this hood is specifically designed for the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED and VR models. It may not fit or function correctly with other 70-300mm lenses.

Ensure you are using a compatible lens (AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED or VR). Verify that the hood's mounting tabs are aligned correctly with the lens mount before twisting.

Confirm the hood is correctly and fully attached. For wide-angle lenses, some vignetting can occur with extended hoods, but this hood is designed for the specific 70-300mm lens where this is generally not an issue when used properly.
