[Thread] Perfect solution for a Nikon AF VR-NIKKOR 80-400 1:1.45-5.6D lens. The lens has to have a screw in lens hood. The normal lens cap still works. Thank you to the B&H chat for quickly providing me a link to this solution

[4.3 x 4.2 x 2"] In today's love of flare, it's great to use this to get rid of unwanted flare and make better photos.

[4.3 x 4.2 x 2"] Works great on my Sony 70-200 GM II. It is much smaller than the huge hood that comes with this lens. And it saves a lot of time when pulling the camera and lens from my bag and storing back in my bag since I no longer have to reverse the hood each time.

[4.3 x 4.2 x 2"] Nice.

[77 mm] After my Canon RF 70-200mm lens hood took a hard hit that broke the lens hood mount right off of the lens, I thought I would never be able to attach a lens hood to my lens again... until I found this lens hood that screws right into the filter threads on the end of the lens! It works beautifully, and it's even easier to travel with than the original lens hood.

[0.175 lb] Received and mounted my second one, after having lost the first on one of my outings. I prefer it to the Canon original on my 100-400 mm because it does the job as well, is collapsible for bag or backpack, and offers better protection in the case of knocks. Great idea and execution.

[0.175 lb] This item I bought to shield side light entering the lens when shooting an interior photograph through a window while standing outdoors. Just hold the camera lens till the hood touches the window glass and be sure there is no light leakage. as evident in the viewfinder. Press the shutter release. This application only works for hand held exposures. It can serve as a wide angle lens hood, but the shading of the lens is limited due to the shallow extension of the hood.

[0.175 lb] What a great design! Does WA, normal and Tele in one hood. Compact for storing when folded to the WA extension.

[0.175 lb] First thing noted different than the description of the product is this hood is made of SILICONE and not rubber. Similar but not the same. Silicone is superior in UV and heat resistance and will provide much longer service. This hood is flexible and will NOT remain extended if any degree of force is applied. It stays in the pre-determined positions well even with the high degree of flexibility and no force applied. It threads cleanly on and off of the 77mm filter threads with no binding. It covers a range of 28 - 400MM with no vignetting or focus issues.

Since there was little dimensional detail regarding this item, the following provides dimensional values for the Kaiser 3-in-1 hood:
The length of the hood installed on a filter (B&W UV):
Fully extended: 2.50 inches (beyond glass)
Mid-Position: 1.50 inches
Full Collapsed: 1.12 inches

Hood maximum outside diameter: 4.12 inches
Hood minimum inside diameter: 3.88 inches
Hood wall thickness: .12 inch

In comparison to an installed Canon ET-83D Hood (100 - 400mm lens) with the same B&W UV filter, the Kaiser 77MM 3-1 flexible hood has .62 inch less effective length beyond the filter glass

I debated whether or not this hood would be worth the additional money versus a much cheaper rubber version. Yes it is. The material alone makes the difference. I would purchase this Kaiser hood again

[0.175 lb] I have lately been converted to the fanbase of collapsible lenshoods, both for my Nikon D7500 and Nikon Coolpix P1000. Hard lens hoods are all good, but take up valuable space in the bag/case. Plus, they need to be turned backwards, for all times that you don't use them (unless one relishes putting on and taking off the lenshood each time). I believe in ease of use and functionality, therefore I like keeping on the hoods. This one collapses in three stages, for tele, medium range and wide angle shots.
The thick, soft material is perfect protection for the camera lens.
I recommend.
