      Nikon 500mm f8 Reflex Nikkor longer hood 
<http://www.taishimizu.com/502/Nikon-500mm-f8-Reflex-Nikkor-longer-hood>

The lens hood as supplied is the HN-27. It is less than 1 inch long. Not 
surprisingly, way too short to effectively block light sources that cause 
low 
contrast,flare,? or weird light rays on your images.

However it is possible to get an effectively longer hood.....

Turns out that the Tamron Adaptall 2 500mm F8 reflex lens uses a metal hood 
that is about 4 inches long and fits, without adapter, into the HN-27, 
just screw it in. This hood is sometimes available on that auction place.....
