Later-type lens hood for the Nikkor 28mm f3.5 in Nikon S mount. This version features a two-tone finish with black paint and glossy chrome plating, designed to match the later black-bodied lens, in contrast to the earlier chrome-finished hood. Screw-in type with a two-piece structure that allows a Series 7 filter to be inserted between the components. It has an exceptionally high-quality and refined appearance.

As with many wide-angle Nikkor hoods, this one is notoriously hard to find. At the time, it was not included as a standard accessory with the lens and was sold separately as an optional item. The Nikkor wide-angle lenses themselves had recessed front elements that reduced the need for a hood, and the hood did not fit well in either the camera or lens cases, making it somewhat inconvenient to use. As a result, very few were distributed, making it a rare item today.

Compared to the earlier chrome version, this black-painted later model is somewhat easier to find, but still remains a rare and collectible piece.

There are a few minor spots of paint loss on the front edge of the hood, and some small scratches and slight cloudiness on the chrome plating at the base, but overall it remains in good condition.
The semi-gloss black paint and the gleaming chrome finish reflect the high quality typical of Nikkor products of the era.
Its simple form also makes it a very stylish hood.
