60mm Screw-In Hood for 52mm Polariser
The Nikon HN-12 is a 60mm screw-in lens hood designed specifically for 52mm circular polariser filters. It attaches directly to the filter threads to block stray light and reduce flare during shooting. The accessory is built for DSLR camera systems and carries the manufacturer model reference JAB31301. This hood suits photographers who use original circular polarisers and want dedicated shading.
Dedicated shading for filter users
The HN-12 replaces improvised shading methods such as hand-held cards or generic hoods that cannot mount on a polariser. It is worth adding when flare from off-axis light noticeably lowers contrast in images taken with the polariser fitted. Photographers who do not use 52mm circular polarisers or who prefer petal-style hoods that mount on the lens barrel will not benefit from this screw-in design.

Questions about this item
Will the HN-12 screw directly onto my 52 mm circular polariser?
Yes — the hood has 52 mm front threads that match the filter, giving a secure screw-on fit.
Which way round does the hood thread on — filter first or hood first?
Screw the circular polariser onto the lens, then thread the HN-12 onto the filter's front 52 mm threads.
