Raid, here's some data ...
The thread is titled " Photos taken with Nikkor-O 2.1cm 1:4 - POST HERE".
You've made 31 posts (approx. 31% of the total number of posts) in this thread and have posted zero photos taken with your Nikkor-O 2.1cm f4.... how about posting some photos bro? 
FWIW I've made 21 posts (20.8% of the total number of posts until now) and have posted eight photos taken with my Nikkor-O 2.1cm f4 lens  |

I received the camera a few days ago, and I received the finder adapter yesterday. This means that I have not deliberately postponed any photo posting
I will flood this thread with images soon.  |

I'm expecting big things from Rayid with his Nikkor-O! Brick walls would be a let down...  |

I have loaded the F2 with XP2, and I am ready for some fun. The FM adapter is in the mail i hope that the HN1 lens hood does not vignette. It is designed for very wide angle lenses.
edited: This lens hod is not suitable here. |

Raid, the HN-1 is designed for the Nikkor 24mm retrofocus lens so it will vignette A LOT with the Nikkor-O 21mm, because 1/this is a 21mm not a 24mm 2/this is a Biogon formula, so its nodal point is way deeper in the elements than what it is with a retrofocus lens.
This is not for no reason that Nikon never designed any lens hood for this very lens : the front element is recessed enough in the front barrel, which is by itself the actual lens hood you just need.
If you use the HN-1, no bricks wall photos but underground tubes instead

I did some searches last night on the lens hoods by Nikon, and I agree with you on what you have said above. The original lens hood is very rare and I am not going to even look for one due to the high cost.
I could do what Tom has done, which is to use a couple of fiters without glass, or I will leave out the hood totally, as you have suggested.
Thanks. |

An alternative to using a filter without the glass is to use one or two step-up rings. I'm not sure about the filter size of your 21mm lens, but if it is 52mm, you could use for instance a 52-55mm or a 52-55 + a 55-62mm. With wide angle lenses this could just be enough to create an effective hood.
The trick is playing around with various combinations of step-up rings, take a few test shots and see when it vignettes and when not.

I got a set of step-up rings like this.

Great to experiment with and cheaper than knocking out the glass of your filters.

Quoted for emphasis.
Raid, you don't really need to use a hood with this lens. I've never used a hood on mine, and I've never had a problem with flare. |

These are very useful hints. I am glad that I kept the F2 over the years. It feels so robust.
