User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Lovely piece of plastic
I planned to buy a hood and was going with the cheaper one, but then I planned not to. This hood has an excellent finish, when attached to the lens (using with EF-S 55-250IS) the lens and the hood seem to be a single object, has the same black finish as the lens. the inside cup of the hood has a nice mat finish. Clips very nicely. Can also be applied reverse if not using it. I would recommend this clip type over the screw ones.

I was surprised to see that this was made in Japan.

4 Stars Makes the camera look professional
This is a good lens hood. It is light and easily fits into

the lens. Also makes the camera look very professional.

5 Stars It is what it is.
I’m using it on the 55-250mm EFS lens and it fits perfect and does it’s job. My only complaint would be that it is a little tricky to remove when you put it on backwards for storage.

5 Stars Product as intended. Shipped quickly.
Pleased with the quality of the lens hood & excited that I received it so quickly.

4 Stars It’s a Lens Hood Alright
Works fine on the 55-250 IS – no vignetting or other issues affecting image or usage. It is a longer hood as should be expected for a 250 or 300 lens. The hood lacks the felt lining of some of the higher quality Canon hoods (contains only the matte black in the inner area). Reverses for storage – obstructs only part of the zoom ring at the wider end and the lens is still usable. The focus ring is obstructed but this is almost always the case with reversed hoods.

Users state this hood also fits the 18-55 IS kit lens – this is half-true. The lens hood will fit the 18-55 but vignette at wide angles. Therefore, it is not a valid lens hood substitute for the 18-55 IS. I own the proper 18-55 lens hood which is probably 1/4th the length of the 55-250 hood and does not vignette.

The hood will also obstruct the zoom ring on the 18-55 kit lens when reversed. This is not a major issue by itself but just notable.

One last note: 75-300 users beware that this hood only works on the newer renditions of the lens (IS or USM). *Older 75-300 lenses are not compatible.*
