User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Mounted on EF-S 18-200mm IS f/3.5-5.6 with 450D/XSi body
Paid $25 for it brand new. Red marker is useful for aligning hood for quick installation. Inside petals have a matte layer to prevent internal light reflections into the lens. Cheaper aftermarket hoods may not have this additional matte layer. You will not be able to use the stock lens cap with this hood installed so think about upgrading to an aftermarket center-pinched snap-on lens cap and most will come with a very useful tether string so you don’t misplace the lens cap. In addition, you will not be able to use the internal flash on the 450D/XSi with the hood attached to the 18-200mm lens because the upper petal will cast a shadow anything above 80mm zoom. Maybe the 40D/50D does not have this issue? An external 430EX or 580EX flash being mounted higher may eliminate this issue.

5 Stars Got this for my Canon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens
Works perfectly for the 18-200mm lens. However, you will not be able to put the lens cap on/off easily with the hood on UNLESS you also have a UV filter, which extends the lens out a little bit.

5 Stars Does the job!
I bought this for my husband. He requested it specifically because he said that it does a great job of blocking the sun from the lens. He misplaced the one he used to own at my home in another state. We moved here, and never found it when we were packing. He ordered another one of the very same kind because he like it so.

3 Stars Lens Hood versus Lens Cover
Not quite sure what to say about the lens hood…it does what it supposed to do however when you use it you can’t use the lens cover which was very disappointing to me. I assumed (shame on me) that I would be able to snap the lens cover on after shooting my photos but in order to do that I have to remove this lens hood so it now becomes a choice of what do I really want to use????

5 Stars too much!!!
Again, I got this for my Canon lens!! It’s great hood, but just over price for it.
