[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 800675, member: 46690"] Yes, I definitely clicked it into place. I have watched so many video reviews of that lens, and read written reviews online, and almost all of them mention the wonky, insecure hood attachment. It really is almost shockingly bad, to my mind. I may see if I can jury rig some sort of alternate fastener, as off-brand hoods are pretty pricey. I agree, a lens coat will probably be in my future. I have seen the LensCoat products, and they look very nice. But recently in the Nikon sub-Reddit it was recommended to me that I check out a small brand called "Tragopan", as [URL='https://photographyblinds.com/collections/camshield/products/nikon-200-500mm-f-5-6e-ed-vr-camshield?variant=33358866710627']their lens jackets[/URL] allow the zoom to work fully while attached. It's a hundred bucks though, so a bit out of my range at the moment. In the meantime, I'll carry a towel and the cheapo cover my wife got me :) [/QUOTE]
