This is the one I got with my D3000, I was wondering can I get a petal hood for it, I think its a 52mm.

If so where could I get one from, im not sure If I can get one though :'(
 
You're probably going to be limited to Ebay, and it would almost certainly be a screw in type hood. I am not sure that Nikon ever made a petal hood for the 18-55.

They do offer the HB-33 and HB-35 hoods, but they are not petal hoods.
 
I got one off ebay for my 18-55mm lens for the D3000 - works okay but you do get vignetting near the 18mm end....
 
Hi, You can get a 52mm (which the 18-55 is) petal lens hood from Premier Ink & Photographic for £6.99. (01926 339977) but as per the previous reply there is vignetting ai the 18mm end. If you are unsure what that means it's the cutting off of the corners.

Think that they're after the petal/flower shape lens hood... Which would be like one poster stated "a screw" thread fitment from ebay...
 
I was just gonna say the kit lens desnt have the same fitment as my 55-200 or 35mm prime which are both 52mm dia. Is there a screw type available?

According to Nikon its a 52mm fit - try E-bay 52mm lens hood - screw fit..

Ooo, that looks canny and worth a punt. My only concern is how do you get it tight but horizontal aswell.....
Edit, ignore that as ive just looked in more detail and noticed the clamp section. Ordering now. Cheers!
