*Newly Designed*-- Fotodiox Dedicated (Bayonet) Flower (Tulip) Shaped Paddel Lens Hood, for Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED (f2.8ED) D AF Lens, Replacing Nikon HB-7 Review by S. Cheah "Smurf" (Santa Barbara, CA USA)
purpose:
to shade so i don't have to use one hand to shade and the other to hold the camera when i'm not shooting off a stand. for that, this works as it should (definitely reduced some flare)
cons:
1) it is a tight fit but that said, you don't have to "secure it" to start using. Line up the big petal and start shooting :)
2) in trying to align the petal, i found that the portion that secures the hood on my lens can move O_o. not sure if it is supposed to since i can't seem to loosen it all the way but because of that, i was able to align the hood in the secured position properly. but i do have to remove and put it on gingerly so i don't throw off the alignment again.
excuse my lack of capitalization since i'm lazy :P

Very impressed with the product overall. The hood fits snugly and you dont have to worry too much about it coming off. The material has some flex, which is nice specially when it gets bumped or putting the lense down. It would absorb the shock.
Priced right but the shipping cost me so much more than the hood itself.
Pros:
Hood fits very snugly
Light weight
Cons:
None

I bought this hood because of its shape. The Nikon HB7 looks a little "dull" so I decided to give this one a try. The quality and finish of the hood is good but the fit is not. It's a little off centered when it's tightly screwed on the lens. So I have to untighten it a little bit to keep it at dead center. Not a big deal but I am afraid it'll pop off with just a small bump. Other than that, it seems to work fine. I am a new photographer so I can't tell you how effective this hood shades off the glare. However, it does give the lens a even more "pro" look. I was in the dog park one day with my D90 and 80-200mm mounted on a monopod. One of the big dogs growled at me because I was pointing this "thing" at it. :)
As for storage, it can be stored in the hard case that came with the Nikon lens, mounted in reverse. However, it would not fit in the Lowepro Case #3 that I will use to carry it in the field. So I guess I will have to buy the original HB7 so everything can go in the same soft case.

Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.
