Im not sure if i understand what you mean there. Im guessing tulip style as in cutaway sides but bayonet style sounds like the fitting.Is there an advantage to using a tulip style lens hood over a bayonet style? I will be shooting in bright tropical sunlight if that helps with the advice given.
Thanx

The cutaway style ones are designed so they can be longer thus more effective without any vignetting. To use a bayonet type of fitting, your lens needs to have the correct fitting built in for attachment. If you have the 18-55 lens I believe this is missing. The only real option here as far as I know would be to fit a screw in hood. these work just fine however. You can see the filter size by checking the inside of your lens cap. If i remember correctly I think its a 52mm.
Ok thanks. I only know about the 18-55 because a friend bought the D3100 the other wk. I tought him how to use it and sorted a filter and hood out for him. I was a bit surprised one wasnt supplied. I think thats a bit meen of NikonYes, the 18-55 would be screw mounted. The 55-200 would have a bayonet mount.

I couldnt see the size of the filter thread either grrrr lol. Then i just happned to think the cap could be marked and it was.
He got vignetting at the 55mm end with his.. but its only rubber so i cut away the sides neatly lol. It works !
