Does the Tokina 35mm f2.8 extend as much? Its front element is recessed, so it has less need of the hood.

It extends considerably, too, but its MFD is even closer (14 cm). So, the working distance might be shorter than the Nikkor's. Unfortunately I can't measure it anymore, the lens is already gone.
The Tokina's front lens however remains deeply recessed, even at 1:1. That reduces the need for a large hood. In fact, the frontmost part of the inner lens tube is actually the hood ... a small metal ring, that can even be removed (an thus marginally increases the working distance).
