HB-47 Lens Hood for Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G & f/1.4G
Protect your shots and elevate your photography with the HB-47 Bayonet Lens Hood, designed as a precise replacement for Nikon's AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G and 50mm f/1.4G lenses. This petal-style hood effectively blocks stray light from entering the lens at oblique angles, reducing lens flare and ghosting for sharper, higher-contrast images — whether you're shooting outdoors in bright sunlight or under artificial studio lighting.
Engineered to match OEM specifications, the HB-47 clicks securely onto the bayonet mount of your Nikon 50mm prime lens for a snug, wobble-free fit. Its compact, lightweight design adds minimal bulk, making it ideal for everyday carry and street photography. Compatible with YN 50mm f/1.8 lenses as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What lenses is the HB-47 Lens Hood compatible with?
A: The HB-47 lens hood is designed to fit the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G, 50mm f/1.4G, and the Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 (Nikon F-mount). It uses a bayonet-style attachment that clicks on and locks securely in place.
Q: What does a lens hood actually do for my photography?
A: A lens hood blocks stray ambient light from striking the front element of your lens at oblique angles. This significantly reduces lens flare and ghosting artifacts, resulting in images with better contrast, more accurate colors, and sharper detail — especially when shooting in bright or backlit conditions.
Q: Can I store the HB-47 lens hood on my lens when not in use?
A: Yes! The HB-47 features a reversible design. When not in active use, simply reverse it onto the lens barrel so the petals face backward toward the camera body. This saves bag space and keeps it conveniently attached for quick deployment.
Q: Is the HB-47 an official Nikon replacement part?
A: The HB-47 is an aftermarket replacement hood manufactured to match the OEM specifications of the original Nikon HB-47. It provides the same fit, function, and light-blocking performance as the original at an accessible price point.
