That Nikon filter does not look very good, it is probably too reflective.

Well, it must be, based on this experiment. But you wouldn't be able to say that just by looking at the hood, which is painted black and serrated on the inside. Note that the Nikon hood photo is overexposed compared to the other two, making the hood look greyer than it actually is.

The hoods I use have black linen inside. This one looks a bit too shiny.

I have compared plastic hoods (no linen) and Canon ones. The difference is very clear.
