Customer Reviews

Odd - but still very useful5
The first reviewer, explaining the "odd" design, almost put me off, but I took a chance and bought this hood. It's better than OK, and if I lost it, I would certainly buy a replacement. I do agree with the first reviewer - if I were designing a hood, it would not be like this, BUT IT DOES WORK and it also looks quite normal. I leave the metal adaptor ring permantly screwed into the lens. The original lens cap just clips into the adaptor as it has the same internal diameter as the lens itself. When stored in my camera bag, the plastic hood can clipped in back to front so that the whole unit is compact. When removing the hood and then clipping it in the right way round, it probably takes just half a second longer than the more conventional bayonet fitting.

I was going to award this 4 stars because of the unusual design, but as there is no competition and it does the job, I decided to up this to 5 stars.

Mixed feeling3
I had mixed feelings about this hood.
Is certanly very cheap compared to the others in the market and somepeople think is good value for money.
The main problem is that fiddly to fit in and remove ( it can take up to a minute ) and it can be slighty frustrating.
The shape is a bit odd and makes your lens look ugly.
Do I recommend it ?
I sold mine on amazon market place and bought a EW hood and I am happier with the result
3 and a half stars , mainly due to be value for money

Very Odd2
I expected this lenshood to fit onto the adaptor ring by means of a bayonet fitting, the way other EF lenshoods by Canon are fitted. Instead the adaptor ring which screws onto the lens has a circumferential groove into which 4 teeth in the rim of the hood engage in. These teeth are retracted by means of finger press pads on the sides of the hood for removal - ALL VERY FIDDLY INDEED AND TOTALLY OTT
