Canon ES 62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f 1 8 II w hood adapter 62
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.

The seller’s service was good – the item shipped and arrived as expected with no problems.
The lens hood itself is a little hard to align properly when applied to the lens, and for the same reason it also sometimes catches a bit on removal. It’s also not very sturdy. But all these things I anticipated from other reviewers’ remarks, so I’m not surprised or disappointed. In the end it does its job and the price was right.
4 Stars canon es-62 lens hood
I am impressed with the lens hood. I am a beginner but found it much easier to take pictures in all periods of the day using the hood.
5 Stars Nice…
I like it. Its one of the best hoods I have used on my lens. I definately recommend it.

5 Stars Necessary Evil
The hood build isn’t as good as others. It’s not a twist on as I prefer them to be but this little bugger gets the job done.
4 Stars It Works For Me
When I used my 50mm 1.8 outside in bright sunlight I frequently got very overexposed pictures, more than two stops in some cases using aperture priority on my Rebel XSI. I partially remedied that by setting my exposure -2/3. I agree with others this is overpriced for a piece of plastic, but since adding this filter I have no overexposures. It’s worth it for me.
Canon EW78BII Lens Hood for EF 28 135mm f 3 5 5 6 IS Canon SLR Lens
Hoods offer several benefits to the photographer. Primarily the hood shades the lens from stray light that may result in an unwanted discoloration or hazing of the image, or the appearance of lens flare. Shading your lens helps improve contrast and image quality. A hood is not required to eliminate these problems, as any item used to shade the lens will provide the same protection from stray light. The hood is convenient in that it is built to offer protection while ensuring that it will not inadvertently find its way into your image. Photographers often state the protective abilities of a hood as a reason to have one.

5 Stars works like you would suspect
One can’t get overly excited about a lens hood. This one does what its supposed to.
It has good construction, although sometimes it can be a little difficult to take on/off the camera. Better that than coming lose.
Would recommend.
5 Stars Worth the money
I just purchased this hood for my Canon EF28-135 lens and it was well worth the money. Besides the improved quality of my daylight photos, it gives the lens a more professional look and does a great job of protecting my glass. I carry my camera around a lot in the city an it’s great at protecting it from getting knocked around. I also like how I can reverse it at night or for storage.
I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to protect their lens and improve the quality of daylight photos.
5 Stars perfect hood for my 28-135mm Canon lens
This Canon hood fits perfectly for the Canon lens. It is made of sturdy plastic and I expect it to last a long time. I haven’t tested it with outdoor photos yet but if it functions like other Canon hoods, I expect it to be fine.
5 Stars It’s nothing big, but essential.
You should pickup a lens hood on every lens you buy. It protects your lens and prevents lens flare, a must.
5 Stars Get a lens hood and improve your photos
This lens hood fits the Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and I always have it with me when I carry that lens. It is plastic, but well-built – I haven’t had any problems with cracking or discoloration. You’ll want a lens hood mainly for the way it benefits the quality of your images – any stray light hitting your lens element has an effect, from the more obviously-seen lens flare to more subtle overall hazing and low contrast in your image.
Ever since I started using lens hoods I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in my images. For the 28-135mm lens, the hood is sold separately, but don’t think that means it’s unessential – you should have a lens hood for every lens you own.

4 Stars a good hood
It fits like a glove. It’s pretty big though. The inside is a little fuzzy and attracts dust, but at least it’s there and not on my lens. I usually keep my 100mm lens on my Canon Rebel, but it won’t fit in my bag with the hood on. Instead of reversing it, I found the hood fits nicely in my camera bag if I slip it down over my 50mm lens (with it’s hood on) in the side pocket. It works to protect the 50 and rides well there.
5 Stars Good product
Canon ET67 Lens Hood for Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens
Nice hood for my macro lens. Helps me get great macro shots.
5 Stars Well, my Macro Lens needs it!!
It’s too $$$$ for a little black plastic, but I need it for my lens.
4 Stars Expensive for what it is but it does the job
I bought this product just because I want all my equipment to be canon, so I don’t believe there is much difference among this product and the ones produced by non-canon companies. (4 stars because the price)
regards,
5 Stars Essential In Spite Of Price
The Canon ET67 Lens Hood has actually surpassed my expectations for quality and utility, so much so that I don’t mind the price as much as I originally did.
In my view, it is a better way to protect the lens from dirt and damage than a skylight filter. It will protect the lens thread better than a skylight filter in most cases, if the camera is dropped. It affords very effective protection from dirt, smudging, and scratching. It doesn’t need to be cleaned, as a filter does. And the improvement in exposure quality that results from shielding a lens from stray ambient light and reflection is underestimated.
If you don’t need to use more than one filter on your EF 100mm f2.8 Macro USM Lens and you take pictures outdoors, then the ET67 is an essential accessory.

2 Stars Lousy Hood
Lousy hood. It is difficult to insert and remove. It does not stay on well. It, does the job when it comes to cutting out glare.
5 Stars Very Happy
Great hood does what its supposed to do, cut flare and protect lense. It’s not a screw on, but latches fairly easy and is sturdy when latched on. Since it latches on it does spin around the lense, but its nothing to complain about, it still feels very sturdy when on. Overall very happy with the purchase.
5 Stars Better than I expected
This hood is easy for me to use. With the hood attached on my 85/1.8 lens, I can easily get on or off the lens cap. It’s not that bad as someone put on their negative comments. I am a woman and my finger size is normal. It might be a different experience for someone with quite big hands.
4 Stars Does the job
There’s not much to say. The hood does its job. It’s easy to mount/unmount and can be mounted in reverse.
3 Stars Not that secure
The product works as advertised. But the design of the lens and the hood attachment is not the most secure. My other lens hoods screws on to the lens. This is attached through 4 prongs that attaches to a thin grove on the lens. With any force, the hood can pop out so may to serve to protect the lens when dropped.

5 Stars Canon EW63ll Lens Hood
This lens hood works very well. I think being plastic is a good thing. Keeps weight down, and is slightly flexible. Stores nicely on the lens, and I also like the flat lining to prevent light scatter. Highly recommended.
5 Stars Yes this fits the XSI !!!
OK so I have looked everywhere for this type of hood and wanted it from Canon. Thanks to Amazon I got it and a great deal. The hood does fit the 58mm lens on the Canon XSI and does a great job at blocking extra light even with the long range lens I have. It pops off and on easily for both lenses and flips backwards for storage on the lens. Works with filter and end cap.
Thanks for a great deal amazon. Not bad for 23 and change. Half of what other camera shops wanted to charge me.
A plus for all XSI owners.
5 Stars Lens hood is a must
If you are serious about photography, then you should use a lens hood to eliminate stray light and improve colors and contrast. Cannon hoods work fine.
3 Stars Decent lens hood
Not a bad lens hood. I like the connection to the lens barrel makes it quick to install or remove. A tad flimsy compared to other lens hoods, but unless it takes a fiar impact it should suffice.
4 Stars a little expensive, but worth it!
This lens hood is very well made, but a little expensive. It is worth it in the long run because it protects your lens from accidental dings and absorbs shock. The inside of the hood is lined with black felted material that helps absorb unwanted light.
Pros: felted interior, high quality
Cons: costlier than other brands
