Hello fellow Nikoners Yesterday I bought myself the 80~200mm f/2.8D ED, with tripod collar, two-touch interface and a so called built-in lens hood. I bought also a Nikon UV0 filter for protection and guess what... When I screwed the filter in and put the focal lenght at 70mm, the hood simply disappear. The front element is no more than 1 or 2cm inside the front of the lens. This, in my opinion, isn't enough to protect the lens from diffused rays of light, so I am thinking that a hood is really needed. I made some research and found out that the recommended lens hood is the HB-7. Is this information correct? Also, do I really need the hood or that thing called a built-in hood is already enough to avoid flare? Thanks in advance Luiz F.
