It works well
Good for smaller lures, probably under 6 inches. Seems to do the trick to stop the trebles on lures getting caught up during travel.

It's a genuine hood that fits well and is finished well.
I bought a second hand 85mm f/1.8G which didn't come with the hood so had to buy this. It's a bit expensive for a piece of plastic but I wanted a genuine one so was happy to pay the extra. It fits well and has a nice finish.

Fantastic lens for the price
I generally don't buy 'normal' range zoom lenses as I prefer to use primes in that range. This lens is an exception to my normal practice as it is small and light and incredibly cheap for what you get. I use it with my D500 and find it great.
Pros:
- cheap and affordable, especially if bought 'grey market' where it has been separated from a kit
- focuses super fast and dead silent compared to some other AF-S lenses
- small and light
- sharp
- VR
Cons:
- slow variable aperture (I usually use this with external flash or outdoors so set it to f/5.6 or above)
- no VR switch (have to use the menus to turn off)
- might not be 100% compatible with older Nikon cameras (check this first before buying)
- at times it seems to want to underexpose on my D500 by around a stop (be sure to check your exposure)
- you need to push a button on the side of the lens and rotate the lens to use it (it then becomes quite a bit longer). This is sometimes a hindrance as it is another step in the process.
For the price, it works very well and especially for the price. I'm not a huge zoom user so didn't want to spend big on one but this is perfect for general 'walk around' use (for me).
