Dedicated Hood for NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7
The Nikon HN-42 is a screw-in lens hood built specifically for the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7. It blocks stray light that causes flare and ghosting, helping to preserve contrast and colour fidelity. Photographers using this focal length gain a simple tool to improve image quality in bright or backlit conditions.
Screw-In Mount With Filter Threads
The hood threads directly onto the lens barrel for a secure fit that resists accidental detachment. Its front face retains filter threads so circular filters can be stacked without removing the hood. The construction shields the front element from knocks, moisture and dust during everyday handling.
Fixed Design for One Focal Length
Because the hood is optimised for the 24mm angle of view, it cannot be used on wider or longer lenses without vignetting or insufficient shading. It also lacks a collapsing mechanism, so it adds constant length to the lens profile. Buyers who need a hood for multiple focal lengths or a reversible storage option should look elsewhere.
