Why do Canon charge so much for one piece of plastic? This compatible hood is half the price and appears to do the job just as well. It fits on a bayonet type quarter a turn mounting, and there's a reassuring click at the end of its travel so I'm sure in normal use it wont come off.
I bought it for my 17-85 IS USM lens and it parks on the lens in reverse for storage if required, if the hood does fit other lenses I assume it would do the same.
The initial reason for buying was was only really for 'show' to be honest, but having the hood I've realised that it's benefits are two fold; a small amount of protection for the lens glass from the weather but more importantly physical protection. Having a battery grip causes the body/lens to tip forward when put down; the hood acts as a cushion or shock absorber, especially if the largest part of the petals are on the top and bottom. The plastic is fairly flexible so I think it adds protection to my investment.
A worthwhile addition to the camera bag. Leave it on all the time and this ten pound circle of plastic should make you sleep easy at night. Recommended.

It arrived earlier than expected. Fits well and works as well and fits as well as the Canon version but much cheaper.

Does the job
Fitted well, nice and secure. Only minor issue was it was a bit fiddly to put it on the other way round, for storing the camera. Read more

CAMERA HOOD
wHY PAY £20-40 FOR AN "OFFICIAL" CANON HOOD WHEN THIS DOES THE SAME JOB FOR HALF THE PRICE. I SPENT ENOUGH ON THE CAMERA.

Fantastic substitute to original hood!

Lens Hood
Canon do not supply lens hoods with their expensive lenses and cameras, how mean is that? This fits the 18 - 135mm lens and does the job, no complaints.

Almost as good for half the price.
This hood was purchased as a direct replacement to a lost Canon hood for my EF-S 17-85 so I was able to make a direct comparison. Read more
