Does the standard lens with the Nikon D60 fit a 52 or 55mm flower hood?

I just bought the Nikon D60 but won't be getting it until my birthday. I am buying a flower hood over the net but I don't know if I need the 52mm or the 55mm

Does the standard lens with the Nikon D60 fit a 52 or 55mm flower hood?
Both the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm take 52mm filters and hoods. The 18-55mm actually works better with the circular OEM hood, as the front element rotates as it focuses, defeating the design of a flower hood. Look for the HB-33 instead.

There are aftermarket flower hoods available, but they require you to rotate them after you focus, a really awkward extra step.





The 55-200mm uses the Nikon HB-34 flower hood. I'd recommend that one over one designed for generic wide angle lenses, as the others won't give you the best angle of coverage, leaving you with the possibilites of more glare on the front element.

Reply:If the lens is separatable, it should have the size printed on the rim. Since you don't have the camera yet, go to the Nikon site and look up your lens or your camera. See what accessories there are available for it. You should then be able to tell what lens hood goes with it.
Reply:The 18-55mm lens uses 52mm filters and lens shades (if your are buying a non-Nikon "flower hood" there is a possibility that you will get vignetting at 18mm and not a lot of lens shading at 55mm). The only way to know is to go into a camera store and test the flower hood before you buy ... unless they are guaranteed to be used on your lens.
