Customer Reviews

probably not worth the bother
the end of the lens rotates, so this hood cannot have the nice petal shape. it also has to cope with the full range of focal lengths. after all these compromises, it probably is not worth the bother - it does not offer much shade for the lens.

one also has to wonder why canon cannot just bundle the hood with the lens.

Canon lens hood for 58mm ring
The lens hood is a good protector of the lens face due to the hood being the contact point of what you put the lens on. The only issue there is when this hood is on is that if you use the built in flash on your canon EOS xxx there will be a dark area towards the bottom of the picture. This does not happen if you use an external flash. Very well constructed hood get it as cheep as poss Not from Canon! far too expensive!!!

The shade isn't worth the price or trouble
I was pretty disappointed when I found the EF-S f/3.5-5.6 18-55mm lens doesn't come with a hood when Sony's lenses do so I decided to pick one up to help minimise flare.

PERFORMANCE

I'd have to agree with the other reviewer Andy here about how it's not worth the price or trouble. The brim is so small it provides very little shade for the lens to minimise lens flare or block out other extraneous side light sources. You'll hardly notice any difference before and after attaching the hood when faced with the problem of flare.

However, it does offer protection for your lens from accidental impacts and adds a small extra bit of "cool" factor to your camera to make it more professional looking if that's what you're after...

DESIGN

I didn't have too much trouble fitting it onto the AF lens I bought it for but it's quite a tight fit so you will probably want to hold the focus ring while doing so. It also means you probably don't want to fit it on backwards to save space in your bag because it would be very hard to remove without possibly damaging the lens.

It also doesn't have that "crunchy" sound that cheap plastic has when applying a bit of pressure to it but I don't think that justifies the price when it's almost effectiveless at its main job.

I understand charging for larger petal or lamp hoods but these small ones should really come free with Canon lenses.

SUMMARY

This hood won't give you enough shade for the money's worth. The quality of plastic feels pretty good but you'll probably only end up using this to protect your lens.
