Product Description

A lens hood is one of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.

Customer Reviews

Adequate lens hood for a decent price
This lens hood is not very expensive, though it still gets me to pay $350 for a lens and not get the $20 piece of plastic to put on the end of it. This hood has two buttons on each side that you press in and then clip the hood onto the end of the lens. It doesn't always come off very easily. I don't like this hood as much as the twist on lenses I have for the 70-200 and the 24-105. It seems to serve its purpose, but it's not as easy or convenient to use.

XTi Lenses
I just tried this out on my 35mm EF 2.0 and it works fine with no vignetting, because of the aps-c sensor size difference. I got this hood for my 50mm because with the size difference thats what it would be rated to. Clearly they make them a little wider than they have to, because it works great on a 35mm with the XTi body and smaller sensor size. Comically large, but effective. I really like the results it produces. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that you have to keep it clean, the velvet anti-reflective coating on the inside tends to collect lint and debris easily.

Doug's review
The Canon ET 65III Lens hood is great! It works well and the fit is like that of a glove. This is an outstanding product. I am glad to own it. They certainly got it right. The price is very reasonable and the quality is good also. A+ A+ A+ A+, Thanks.......
