Rare item. Late model hood for the Nikkor 28mm f3.5 with Nikon S mount. Unlike the early chrome-finished model, this late model matches the black barrel of the later lenses with a two-tone finish of black paint and glossy chrome plating.
Screw-in type. It has a two-piece structure, allowing a Series 7 filter to be sandwiched in between. The finish is exceptionally high-quality and beautiful.
As with other Nikkor wide-angle lens hoods, this hood is very difficult to find. This hood was also not standard equipment with the lens and was sold as an optional item. Nikkor wide-angle lenses have a conical shape that makes them less dependent on hoods, and they do not fit well in camera cases or lens cases, making them less convenient to use. It is assumed that only a very limited number were distributed.
Compared to the early chrome-finished model, the later black hood is somewhat easier to find, but it is still a rare item.
There are a few minor scuffs on the inside of the hood, but the exterior is in excellent condition. The semi-glossy paint and the shiny, high-quality chrome finish are truly captivating. Its simple design makes it a very stylish hood.
