Amazon.com Product Description
The addition of a lens hood can help prevent flares--those circles of light that can accompany images where a strong light source is just outside the fame. These type of lens flares occur when indirect light rays pass through the front lens elements but don't make it all the way through to the image sensor. Canon's EW-73B Lens Hood is designed for the Canon EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM SLR Lens.

Customer Reviews

A cure for circling the end of the lens with your hand!
Sometimes I like a bit of artistic sun flare but I was finding many times where I was trying to hold the camera and take a picture while shading the lens with one hand. Not a real comfortable position. The lens hood makes the lens bulkier and takes a second to put on but it is worth it in my opinion.

Useful shade
This shade, made by Canon is much better, a better fit and more sturdy than a generic shade sold by a famous NYC store. It is well worth the price, and does not interfere with the use of filters.

Don't get it for the Canon EF 10-22mm Lens
My mistake obviously, but I took some erroneous online advice to use it for my Canon EF 10-22 lens and it doesn't fit at all. Even if I monkeyed with it there's no way it would fit.
I still gave it 4 stars because it's a nice quality piece. Minus 1 star because they weren't clear about the size of it.
