This lens hood is very well made, but a little expensive. It is worth it in the long run because it protects your lens from accidental dings and absorbs shock. The inside of the hood is lined with black felted material that helps absorb unwanted light.
Pros: felted interior, high quality
Cons: costlier than other brands |

| I was recommended this from a professional photographer that said for outside photography, a lens hood is your best investment. Designed well and does the trick. |

| Two things I've learned this year.....tripods and hoods. Both have made a world of difference. It's as described. |

| This lens hood is awfully expensive for a piece of moulded plastic that probably cost no more than a few cents to make. But it fits and it does the job. You really need one, and these guys are the only ones who make it, so what are you going to do? |

| Great addition to any lens purchase. It helps protect the lens as well as helping with light. |

A lens hood is a wise purchase no matter the lens you use. It serves two purposes. The first, is that it prevents flare from stray light from coming into the lens, whether it be sunlight on a bright day, or the errant bit of light from a lamp while indoors. Even in controlled studio setups, a hood helps stop unwanted light reflections from causing random unexpected problems. Its a nice insurance measure to protect the beauty of your photographs.
The second use is one that causes it to pay for itself, and your lens, over time. It is a protection device, taking hits from your lens and deflecting them through its flexible plastic body, rather than letting shock pass through the delicate mechanics and glass of your valuable lenses. Dumps and dings can happen anywhere, and do even to the most careful of photographers, and you'll want all the protection you can get to make sure a random pedestrian bump or a slight trip over some rocks doesn't put your lens out of commission.
This is a Canon hood, meaning it's made to work with your Canon lenses. Third party hoods can be much, much cheaper, but they will not be as good as this Canon hood. For one, this hood's "flower petal" look ensures it is adjusted perfectly so it never causes vignetting in your photos, unlike cheap third party hoods.
Operation is simple, as the lenses this is compatible with have ridges that connect with this one. Just put it on your lens, give it a slight twirl, and its locked in place! Do it in revers to take it off, and even flip the thing around and lock it in place backwards when storing this lens. I've only had a few issues with the hood jamming in place, but that I attirbute to myself trying to put it on too fast in a hasty situation. This thing comes on and off in less than a second, but once its locked in place it'll take a big hit to knock it off.
If you just invested some money into one of the lenses this fits on, do yourself a favor and buy this hood. Do it to protect both your lens and your photographs.

| This lens hood from Canon fits the lens it is made for very well, and there is no chance to get part of it in your frame as I have encountered with 3rd party lens hoods. A must have to take care of unwanted lens flare and protect your pricey lens. |
