Pretty good lens hoods

I just received this set so that's the first impression. I think it's good value for money and a smart set. I just bought a used Nikon 28-200 zoom lens that came with a proper Nikon lens hood (HB-12) which is huge. This makes the lens look like a tube. And I don't think it's effective for darkening the lens, too small and wide. Rather than defend, I think this makes it easier to damage the lens. to put it bluntly This set includes two lens hoods, a one-piece plastic tulip lens hood and a two-position foldable rubber lens hood. Not intended for simultaneous use. I've always liked rubber hoods because they offer protection even when folded. This vignettes at full width but works well at half width. Adjusting is an extra step if you're busy taking photos, but vignette isn't so bad if you forget about it. The inner ring is screwed into the lens. The lid snaps into place on spring-loaded ball bearings. Of course, the hood is free to rotate and requires some attention to keep it in place. Not so bad, but it's a minus. yes it is two sided The Nikon lens cap, that came with my lens sits too low in the ring to reach the release buttons on the sides, but the cap in this kit has recessed finger locks in the front just right for the lens. hoods. This is a pretty thorough review considering I haven't taken any photos with it yet. I'll revise it if I find I missed something. Given the price, I'm not disappointed. that I missed something.
