Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
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.

As with the rest of the world I feel that like other camera makers, Canon should be including this with the lens. After spending around £300 on a lens the least they can do is include a few pence worth of plastic. However they know that I and probably you, value what this thing does over how much it costs and so can charge the rather ridiculous price for it. I bought it and I'm glad I did (my lens is protected and I get less flare in my pictures) but I'm also left feeling a bit of a sucker.

The 50mm f/1.4 lens is known to be a little subject to flare and artifacts (more so than the much more expensive 50mm f/1.2 L lens). This hood helps greatly to reduce such flare. I took some photos of my daughter putting decorations on the tree before Xmas - the tree lights caused some flare spots and ruined quite a few of them. After putting the new hood on, the flare spots nearly all vanished - removing the filter helped even more. My suggestion: get a hood before a filter (unless it's one of the very best filters, in which case more expensive than this hood). I shoot in a lot of low-light situations, often with point sources of light (concerts etc.) - in my own experience with the 50mm f/1.4, the hood without a filter is the best set-up. It offers lens protection and can be reversed for convenient storage. Usual Canon high build quality.

Ultimately it is a bit penny pinching of Canon not to include lens hoods with their lenses, but they don't and probably never will at this level.
This one works well and is highly recommended even if only to protect the delicate front zoomy bit. Overpriced but works.

Does the job - I like it
I understand the limits of engineering, and the need for "acceptable level of tolerance"; however the hood I received was an incredibly tight fit on my lens. Read more

Very good lens hood, although a bit pricey
It is a very good hood, better than 3rd party offers. Feels sturdy and its internal velvet-like lining traps light reflections on the hood itself. Read more

Wow
Compact, nice to have. Prevents accidental finger marks and bumps on the front glass of a moderately expensive lens. Read more

Must Have
There is no point in spending on the lens if you don't buy the hood! A must have to stop lens flare.

Works well but expensive
Does what it's meant to. Shame about the price, you could probably find something just as good and cheaper if you hunted around - hence only 4 stars.

Serves its purpose but as with anything photography, expensive for...
Fits (very snugly), its canon, its expensive for what it is, but that is photography.
If you have a Canon 50mm 1.4 then probably worthwhile investing in this lens hood.

Shooting in the shade
Clearly I don't need to talk about lens hoods, you know what they're for. I mainly wanted to add the following:

Well, Canon, original hood, that's it
So, this is the only choice for Canon 50/f1.4 and it's a nice product, not very expensive. If you need it, buy it.
