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.

Does the job but it is little awkward at first to both put on and take off. I think the problem lies in the two release points which are opposite each other and which you squeeze to retract the bayonets that grip the retaining ring (which screws into the front of the lens). When you squeeze the release points the hood distorts slightly making it awkward. Knowing this I use only slight pressure with a turn of the hood to remove and the same care when putting it on (without the turn) you can see which bayonets have not engaged, therefore its not that hard to sort. My issue is that I don't have much faith in the bayonets holding up to any accidental knocks! If it breaks I will look at an EW hood. That said I am happy with it and prefer the full hood.

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.

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

Perfect Hood!!
Great lens Hood for Canon 50mm 1.8 II. I bought a fake chinese lens hood for the same lens and it was very bad. This is amazing! Very high plastic level and matter. Read more

Why buy the Canon equivalent for twice the price??
Does the same as the Canon version, only you pay half the price. Well worth buying and I'd do the same again.

As advertised
Just bought this hood for my Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. It is nothing really special, just a hood to avoid flares and protect the lens as well.

ES-62 Lens hood
Excellent product from Canon, does what its supposed to. Don't bother buying a cheap copy which will be a poor fit. Get the one that's designed for the lens.

does the job its made for
Does the job its designed for, can be a bit tricky to attach at times as you have to push the sides in so the contacts can connect.

Canon Lens Hood
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. Read more
