juanjo_viagran Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 For who it may concern: the Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 AF-S hood (HB-17) is discontinued and almost impossibleto find.I went to B&H today and took my 80-200mm 2.8 AF-S and try the hood for the70-200mm 2.8VR (HB-29) and IT FIT perfectly, even lock into place. So if buying a used 80-200mm 2.8 AF-S w/o hood or the hood of your needreplacement there you have a alternative to the discontinued HB-17..PS: IT DOESN'T FIT THE 80-200mm 2.8D AF (two rings). hope it helps someone, I was looking for this same info some time ago and wasn'table to find any concrete answer..:) <imgsrc="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc112/Juanjo_Viagran/BS/DSC_3787-1.jpg"><imgsrc="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc112/Juanjo_Viagran/BS/DSC_3788-1.jpg"> Just in case you want to see the difference between the AF-D and the AF-S..;) <imgsrc="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc112/Juanjo_Viagran/BS/DSC_3783-1.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc112/Juanjo_Viagran/BS/DSC_3786-1.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohanmike Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I did something similar when I bought the Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 VR. I did not like the long hood that came with it because I use a Lowepro TLZ2 holster bag and HB-36 in place is too long, I want my camera immediately accessible. The is more for protection than light refraction. I looked around for a shorter one and found that the HB-28 fit, only slightly loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhite3.0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks Juanjo, I was looking for a replacement and did a google search and this post came up. I was also thinking of the 28-70 AF-S lens hood but had no way to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
