Average customer review: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
Horribly overpriced.
This part is over priced for its ability to actually remain mounted on a lense. Tends to slip off or sideways. Should cost about $5.
Does its job
Pro: does what it suppose to
Con:
- thin plastic that feels flimsy (ES-71II on my 50f1.4 is far better by comparison, and cheaper as too), questionable attachment to the lens with the snap on mechanism.
But this is the only choice you got for Canon 100 f2.
85mm 1.8 lens hood
I shoot in very crowded and compact areas at times using two cameras so protecting any swinging camera lens is important. Since my 85mm 1.8 prime lens didn't come with a hood (I think only L series lenses come with hoods.), I decided to buy one for it more to protect the lens and not really to prevent any flares. This hood actually snaps onto the lens instead of twisting/sliding on. Not exactly a sturdy and firm fit but as long as it does it's job in protecting the lens I'm happy.
I would only recommend this hood if you run around at locations and there's a risk of your lens hitting something by accident. If your using your 85mm prime indoors only, don't even bother.
