I was due to the many positive reviews for this lens hood for my D5100 with AF-S DX Nikkor lens. (18-55mm) The aperture can be easily by squeezing two buttons, drop then sitting precisely in the thread. The panel can be mounted in two directions, so that they can easily be turned around during transport and they therefore may be on the lens. Your end, they met as expected. When flash is used, however, it must be ensured that the intere flash of the camera can cause shadows on the image.
In addition, the small kit lens through which, incidentally original Nikon shutter acts, equal professional!
I can at any rate set each his heart, the diaphragm. Do not regret the purchase.
