Lens hood for Nikkor 50mm f1.4, compatible with both Leica screw mount and Nikon S mount. Features a 43mm diameter and a two-piece screw-in design, model AN-43mm. While the early versions were made of aluminum, this particular item is the final version, made of brass with black paint finish.

A Series 7 filter can be inserted between the hood and its base.

In addition to the Nikkor 50mm f1.4, it also fits the Nikon S-mount Nikkor 35mm f2.5 and 35mm f3.5 lenses. However, it is noted that there may be vignetting when used with the 28mm f3.5. Also, the early version of the S-mount 35mm f3.5 lacks filter threads and cannot be fitted with this hood.

The charming original box design is by Yusaku Kamekura, one of Japan's most iconic graphic designers, known for his work on the Nikon F, Good Design Award logo, posters for the Tokyo and Sapporo Olympics, Expo '70 in Osaka, and logos for NTT and Fuji TV. The vibrant design and coloring will surely brighten up any collector's shelf.

Unused dead stock item in like-new condition. The original box shows some signs of handling. Comes with a beautiful leather case. A rare find in excellent condition, perfect for your collection.
