Garbage This lens hood is garbage. It fell apart after 4 uses. I cannot understand how Nikon can put such a poor hood on such a nice lens. Unlike others, I wouldn't give Nikon another dime, I will find an after market hood that fits. "Customer Service" is useless. July 25, 2011
Flimsy Lens hood broke into 6 pieces. Flimsiest hood I've ever used. Nikon, please make a better hood for this lens. June 16, 2011
the most fragile lens shade I ever used Nice concept, but lens shade can't stand any abuse at all - I've had two and both fell apart after mild bumping around, then can't be reassembled with any success. PLEASE Nikon or some third party make an alternative lens shade for the 55-300. The lens itself is fine, the lens shade, not. After the 2nd one fell apart I reported it to Nikon, who offered to replace the lens shade with a new one - I declined the offer, and will do without until there's an alternative. Nikon owes me $70 for two bad lens shades, or one good alternative for free - If they were really concerned about standing behind their product. April 16, 2011
Snap-On Lens Hood Watch out hood will come apart when you don't expect it great idea but just doesn't work. April 4, 2011

When will the HB-57 lens hood be available for purchase at the Nikon store? Is it the only one that will fit a 55-300mm zoom?

Answer: 
These terrible (Nikon should be embarrassed) lens hoods are also out of stock at on-line dealers. Basically there is not replacement for this lens hood.

It is well known that this hood is horrible, very fragile and expensive. Surely the nikon lens it is made for, the 55-300, is compatible with some other lens hood?

I find the poor quality of this part and the lack of support for the users to be a blemish on the Nikon reputation. Looking for a response that you have a plan to quickly resolve the issue.
