Opteka 55mm Screw Mount Flower Petal Shaped Lens Hood with Lock

This lens hood 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 protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.

5 Stars good buy
This type of lens protector is very good and looks greeat with the fujifilm s5000. It does its job flawlessly

5 Stars Great Lens Hood!
Whenever using my wide angle at 18mm you can see the edges of the hood slightly, however anything zoomed in at 25mm or more this lens hood proves efficient! And it’s very strong and sturdy (will definitely protect your lens!).

3 Stars Generic 55mm and all plastic
This is reasonably priced for what it is, but it’s a generic threaded hood. The hood ring for a Sony Alpha / Konika-Minolta lense won’t be used.

Since the threads are so fine, the coupler REALLY should be aluminum rather than plastic. You need to be very careful when screwing this on so as to not strip the threads on the hood.

There is an adjustment ring on the back which, once you’re lined up, you can use as a positive stop for future remove/adds and to help keep the hood from spinning loose.

Canon ACK E5 AC Adapter Kit for Canon Digital Rebel XS and XSi Digital SLR Camera

AC power supply unit for powering your EOS 450D camera while taking pictures or downloading images

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Canon ACK-E5 AC Adaptor Kit
I purchased this primarily for portrait photography and for time-lapse exposures. Very handy for any situation where the camera is used in a stationary position, for any time when the battery could run down, and where AC power is available. I gave it four stars only because, for the price, I expected the cable to be higher quality. The two-conductor cable between the power supply and the DC connector is very thin zip-cord and could wear out with long use, or could break easily if pulled on or tripped over. Otherwise works exactly as advertised and expected. BTW, it is an adaptor (device), not an adapter (person)!

5 Stars Great for Time Lapse, Long Photo Uploads
The Canon ACK-E5 AC Adapter Kit is precisely what I needed to set up my Canon Rebel XSi for time lapse photography. All I need is the ACK-E5 AC Adapter Kit, a wall outlet, tripod, my camera connected to my laptop, and the camera does the rest! The Adapter Kit also permits the user to upload pictures to a computer without wasting precious battery power.

The packaging includes the converter battery (DC Coupler) and power cords. Check out the pictures I uploaded regarding the design and equipment for the Kit and how it fits into the camera.
