The Nikon HB-113 Lens Hood serves as a petal-type bayonet mount lens hood that perfectly complements the capabilities of the NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 Lens. Its primary purpose is to effectively prevent undesired stray light from entering the lens.
By extending and shading the end of the lens, it greatly diminishes the likelihood of unwanted glare and flares, enabling photographers to capture clear and crisp images. Additionally, the lens hood provides an added layer of safeguarding by extending the lens, offering protection against potential accidental impacts.
