I purchased a 2nd hand AF Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-200mm f/2.8D lens, and it came with a haze-1 filter and no lens hood.

The doco also says "to protect the lens surface from dirt or damage an NC filter is recommended at all times. The lens hood also helps to protect the lens"

Now I can get a new lens hood quite readily off ebay, and the lens doco says the HB-7 is the one I need for this lens. As I search on ebay I see lots of HB-7 but then there are also HB-7 II which is a flower shape hood.

So I have 2 questions:

1. Does the HB-7 II fit my lens?
2. If it does is there any benefit to get that slightly longer flower shaped hood as opposed to the original HB-7?
