Customer Reviews

Works well but is too expensive for what it is.
I'm not sure that I should have spent over $25 on this simple plastic lens hood. For macro work, flare is seldom an issue for me. I guess that its function as "air bag" lens protection may make the investment less painful some day if I manage to drop the camera or lens. "Canon" is an expensive word when it comes to accessories.

easy to use
I really like Canon's lens hoods. They are simple and easy to put on or remove.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Reduces flare and ghosting when shooting in bright light.
- Helps protect your lens from dirt and scratches.
- Somewhat protects the lens in case of a fall. Better to break the hood than the front element.
- Makes you look more like you know what you are doing and helps to keep others from carelessly walking in front of you.

Cons:
- Will increase lens movement in windy situations, kind of like a sail on a boat.
- Takes up more room in your bag, even when reversed they still add to the diameter of the lens.
- People take more notice of you, will help to blow your cover if you are trying to keep a low profile.
