Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
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 first reviewer, explaining the "odd" design, almost put me off, but I took a chance and bought this hood. It's better than OK, and if I lost it, I would certainly buy a replacement. I do agree with the first reviewer - if I were designing a hood, it would not be like this, BUT IT DOES WORK and it also looks quite normal. I leave the metal adaptor ring permantly screwed into the lens. The original lens cap just clips into the adaptor as it has the same internal diameter as the lens itself. When stored in my camera bag, the plastic hood can clipped in back to front so that the whole unit is compact. When removing the hood and then clipping it in the right way round, it probably takes just half a second longer than the more conventional bayonet fitting.
I was going to award this 4 stars because of the unusual design, but as there is no competition and it does the job, I decided to up this to 5 stars.

I use this ES-62 Hood on my 50mm f1.8 canon lens. It came with a metal adaptor ring which screws into the front of the lens nicely and once this is in place, I find that its not as tricky to clip on the lens hood as others suggest. Granted, its not quite as easy as a bayonette fitting, but if you look at what you're doing while doing it, it goes on fairly quickly and securely without too much effort.
I cannot say that it has changed the shots that I have taken in any dramatic way, but I do know the effect stray light can have coming into the lens and so I didn't hesitate to buy it. The lens feels more protected and looks like a more serious bit of kit with it on. My camera bag is big enough to accomodate the lens with the hood on, so it keeps things simple.
I recommend it if you can afford it.

As per other reviews, the fitting of this Lens Hood is slightly fiddly (though in no way difficult), due to the design of the lock ring which secures the hood to the lens. The Hood is fairly easy to detach and reverse for storage, although perhaps not as sturdy as the more traditional fitting of some others I own.
The bottom line is that the hood offers some good protection to the lens, blocks out unwanted glare, and looks "right" on the 50mm ES lens it was purchased for.

Fiddly
Poor design from canon, not easy to put on or take off. Wish they had done a screwing one. x

Fits perfectly as expected
Not much to say - perfect fit. The mounting ring stays on the lens and the hood may be detached by squeezing it from 2 sides. Quality plastic. Read more

Decent
Works fine etc.
Just that pressing the tabs on the side to retract the clips doesn't really work 100%.
Design flaw? Or my 50?
Either way once its on it works fine.

Great item
Great item from a fast service, glad I splashed the extra cash for the original Canon rather then the cheap ones.

Great Product
I've bought cheeper hoods before but have been disapointed. Paying a little extra does not always pay off but in this case it does. It is well made and does the job.

Bought this on recommendation from another site as being a better hood for canons 500mm fixed lens - and it's proven the case. Had excellent results, and zero problems. Read more

Smal but works
Some say this is too small for its own good, I would argue that in some lighting it works well and it did just this during a visit to the Taj Mahal. Read more
