Does the kit lens come with the lens hood?

No, I purchased mine about a year ago and neither of the kit lenses came with a hood.

No, it does not. I did purchase an inexpensive, but well made, Agfa hood though Amazon.

I have a D3100 kit and no the hood did not come with it. I did purchase one from Amazon after reading on their site that it would fit a D3100. The hood "does not" fit any of my lens.

Most Nikon lenses come with hoods, but this one definitely does. If you are shooting with sunlight the hood is a must.

No, but please note that all lenses can benefit from a hood! Check Amazon's deals for a good price!

As do I. Oddly enough, my lens didn't come with a hood. Weird. I never knew it was supposed to.

Yes, it does come with a lens hood and it has a 6 year warranty. Bought one last December and very happy with it.

The one I recieved did not come with a hood. I ended up returning it because I didn't check compatibility with my Nikon, oops.

Normally it comes with a very nice case but I don't remember if it had a hood or not. Normally i never use the hoods of any of my lenses. This lens is one of the nicest and clearest long lenses I have used and the macro capability is very nice because you don't have to get so close to your subject.

It isn't mentioned in the descripton, but it does come with a "tulip" type lens hood.

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

It comes in a cardboard box. No hood. I bought one here on Amazon (3rd party) for $6. The lens is amazing. The cheap hood is a bit tight but it works.
