Product Description

and the colours depend on the glass and coatings in use. Normally you want to avoid these effects, but occasionally they can add interest - as they more often to in film or video footage. A lens hood enables you to shoot 'contre-jour' or towards the light source, so long as you keep it outside the image area, without excessive flare. This can produce some exciting results. Package Includes: One lens Hood.

Customer Reviews

Decent product
I needed a Hood for my new Canon lens which sadly wasn't included in the purchase.Reviews had stated that genuine canon hoods were expensive for what they were, a piece of moulded plastic. Having searched through what was available on Amazon and in retail shops I opted for this, deciding to go for the cheap option. Delivery was quick and the product is as described, a plastic crown shaped hood that does the job perfectly. Its sturdy enough with an easy grip locking ring,a decent product, worth the money.

Currently on my 18-55mm
I use this on my 18-55mm
i get some vignette sometimes (when i forget to fix the hood correctly)
but the hood serves well.

Cheapness shows
Arrived today, wouldn't screw into my Canon 500D standard lens, nor the telephoto. Finally got it to screw into my UV filter when it was off the lens but had a hell of a job getting it off again. The screw thread is abrading and has worn the thread on my UV filter, so I won't be reattaching it for fear of never being able to unscrew it. Will now have to pay for the proper Canon lens hood.
