User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Looks cool and protect my lens
Great looking hood and protects the lens well. I leave the hood on 100% since I don’t cover my camera and place it in the bag togeter. A bit pricy but hey, it does its job.

5 Stars More than aftermarket but worth it
Great quality and you should have one for all your glass. Helps with flare but mainly protects the lens. Combine it with a good quality UV filter for the best protection.

Canon EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Camerasis not the sharpest but is a good travel lens.

5 Stars Canon EW78D Lens Hood
Every lens should have a hood not only to prevent glare and lens flare but also for protection from drops and getting banged around. It’s a small price to pay for such expensive camera lenses. I highly recommend it.

5 Stars Lens hood
Nice to have specially when you are outdors – it protects the lens when getting banged around hanging from your neck. Be careful with obstruction shadows when used with a flash.

4 Stars help to remove glare!
Works as it should be. I attached it on XSi and it fits well without gap. You can attach the hood in the opposite direction for easy storage and transportation. The price is a little expensive for a plastic piece.

Canon ET60 Lens Hood for EF 75 300mm f 4 0 5 6 SLR Lens




Canon ET60 Lens hood, perfect for outdoor photography or in bright daylight. Compatible with the CANON EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 USM, II, II USM, III & III USM Lenses

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great lens hood
Great lens hood. Perfect for long telephoto lenses. I’ve even tried it on my 18-55mm. Though it fits, Some of the hood is visible in some shots. Spend the money and get the hood designed for wide angle lenses. Otherwise a really great product. Typical Canon quality! I’m someone who takes my gear everywhere with me. And this hood is no exception. It’s goes eveerywhere with me. Great product! I recieved product quickly in sealed package. In perfect condition. [...].

5 Stars Good Investment
I recently purchased a Canon telephoto lens and of course needed a hood. This was a great product and fit my lens nicely. Good investment, and the product was in excellent condition-like new. Good purchase.

4 Stars Useful and necessary
This item does exactly what it is intended to do–protect the lens and shield the lens from extraneous light. Fits the Canon 75-300 lens perfectly. Worth the investment.

4 Stars It’s a Lens Hood Alright
Works fine on the 55-250 IS – no vignetting or other issues affecting image or usage. It is a longer hood as should be expected for a 250 or 300 lens. The hood lacks the felt lining of some of the higher quality Canon hoods (contains only the matte black in the inner area). Reverses for storage – obstructs only part of the zoom ring at the wider end and the lens is still usable. The focus ring is obstructed but this is almost always the case with reversed hoods.

Users state this hood also fits the 18-55 IS kit lens – this is half-true. The lens hood will fit the 18-55 but vignette at wide angles. Therefore, it is not a valid lens hood substitute for the 18-55 IS. I own the proper 18-55 lens hood which is probably 1/4th the length of the 55-250 hood and does not vignette.

The hood will also obstruct the zoom ring on the 18-55 kit lens when reversed. This is not a major issue by itself but just notable.

One last note: 75-300 users beware that this hood only works on the newer renditions of the lens (IS or USM). *Older 75-300 lenses are not compatible.*

5 Stars It is what it is.
I’m using it on the 55-250mm EFS lens and it fits perfect and does it’s job. My only complaint would be that it is a little tricky to remove when you put it on backwards for storage.

Canon EW83E Lens Hood for EF 16 35mm f 2 8L or other UWA Canon SLR Lenses

Canon EW83E Lens Hood for EF 16 35mm f 2 8L or other UWA Canon SLR Lenses




Specially designed Lens Hood for the CANON 16-35 f/2.8L USM Lens & the CANON 17-40 f/4.0 L USM Lens (CAN 17-40MM/USM)

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Not sure I needed this
I have read (after purchasing this) that is it not needed with the 10-22mm lens for which it was purchased. I have also read that you should use a lens hood with every lens. In any case, it is as stated, a lens hood for the 10-22 and the 16-35 lenses. It will reverse on the lens for storage but you will need lots of room as it is quite large. The interior is coated with felt-like material. I can not recommend for or against this product. After a little more use I will update this review.

5 Stars Protected my 10-22 Wide angle lens
Added this lens hood to protect my newly purchased Canon 10-22mm lens- which also was a great Amazon buy. I hadn’t used one of these hoods prior to the purchase of this lens and also my 17-55mm lens. What is a few more dollars when you are spending close to $1000 for a lens. I highly recommend.

4 Stars Great Product
Great product, fits my 10-22 quite well (a hair of jiggle room) and does what it’s supposed to do.

5 Stars Extra, because 1 just isnt enough
I bought this for my L series because although buying the lense brand new and it comes with one alraedy, i’ve seen that the hood gets scratched.

So i bought another one, in times where i just want to be flashy, i can pull out the new hood and make it look good, haha.

And in case my hood breaks, i have a replacement.

3 Stars Lens hood for 10-22mm wide angle zoom
This is way overpriced for what it is and Canon is too cheap to include it with the lens– shame on them. It is just crazy to have to be “taxed” an additional $30+ on a $700 lens that should come with a lens hood. It works fine, it is just the price that is the issue. I’m kind of sorry I didn’t take the risk of buying a third party brand lens hood. The Canon hood is just made of plastic as is the third party brand (BTW I thought the third party brand was also overpriced at $15+). To me, this hood is worth maybe $10 but certainly no more than $12. Part of the reason I bought the Canon is that Amazon provided free shipping since it was over $25. The $15+ hood got bumped up to over $20 with the shipping. I would have tried the third party brand but there is no telling the quality of those plus the cost difference was to close with the shipping so I just decided to bite the bullet and pay up. It is wise to have the hood especially for bright days but the price is definitely a rip.

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter




Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. This filter can be kept on the camera at all times.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Don’t bother with this if you are using the 50mm f/1.8 lens to shoot portraits
This is a cheap UV filter and if you are only using the 50mm f/1.8 lens to shoot indoor portraits, don’t bother with this.

2 Stars Inexpensive, but photo quality sometimes suffers
This is just a basic UV filter, and is usually pretty useful, but occasionally creates serious problems. I’ve noticed that I get blue/green noise on my images in back-lit or bright photographs. This is a serious problem, and isn’t always noticeable in the viewfinder. It’s no fun to get home and find out that some of your favorite compositions look like crap.

I’m using Nikon D90 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) with a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras, which both function beautifully, so the filter is definitely the problem.

If you can’t afford a better filter, go with this one. Be ready to take it off when you are outside though.

5 Stars UV protective filter
I always use UV filters to protect my lenses. This one is on my new 55mm-250mm canon lens and will stay there forever.

3 Stars cheap filter with dusty package
it shipped with a very dusty plastic case, on which the tags were blurred. the filter looks ok with the cheap price. anyway, not as good as the items in local store.

4 Stars protect those lenses: use filters
Protect your camera lens by using a filter. This Tiffen does the job at reasonable price.

Canon EF S 55 250mm f 4 0 5 6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Canon EF S 55 250mm f 4 0 5 6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras




Incorporating Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance, low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The high-zoom-ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, this Canon lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The lens also boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to create excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Delivering an excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers, the 55-250mm lens carries a one-year warranty.

Specifications

  • Focal length: 55-250mm
  • Maximum aperture: f/4 to f/5.6
  • Lens construction: 12 elements in 10 groups, including one UD-glass element
  • Diagonal angle of view: 27 degrees (at 50 feet) to 6 degrees (at 15 feet), with APS-C image sensors
  • Focus adjustment: DC motor, gear-driven (front focusing design)
  • Closest focusing distance: 3.6 feet (0.31x maximum close-up magnification)
  • Filter size: 58mm
  • Dimensions: 2.8 inches in diameter and 4.3 inches long
  • Weight: 13.8 ounces
  • Warranty: 1 year

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I love this lens!
I really needed this lens, because I didn’t want to get a really super expensive zoom lens! The features are great, not the highest quality, but you will pay a lot more for that!

5 Stars Good lens with cheap price!
The image captured is pretty sharp. I don’t have a L lens so I can’t compare to 70-200, however, I don’t use this long range very often, and 55-250 is good enough for me.

3 Stars Canon EF 55-250
I wish I had gotten a stronger lens. I like to get in close and this does not go very far.

4 Stars Canon 55-250mm IS lens
I get excellent pictures and it is easy to use. It would be nice if the F numbers were smaller but I guess it would cost more then. I also have a 75-300 IS lens and it is very heavy so this is nice for hiking.

4 Stars Great product for the perfect price!
I was looking for a perfect zoom lens for my Canon Rebel T1i (500d) that would not break the bank. After readings tons of reviews and comparing/contrasting lenses, I finally decided to get this one! When I tried it out the first time, I was pleased- more pleased than I expected. Even on a cloudy day, the quality was still there! These are a few positives and negatives about this lens:

Positives:

*Good quality, especially on a sunny day!

*Great zoom!

*Quick to put on camera body and start taking photos

*Easy to zoom (almost too easy!)

*Has manual/auto focus

*Not too big or too small

*Has image stabilization

Negatives:

*some grain during cloudy days when you have to bump up the ISO

*Some vignetting on full zoom

*not a fast lens (which means that the F-Stop number is not low enough, which does not allow lots of light in)

*NOT useful (quality-wise) indoors or night time photos

*Sometimes I have to switch between my kit lens and this lens because it starts at 50mm (and I need a wider lens)

*use of plastic to make this lens

It many seem like there are more negatives, but those are just the broad positives. For the money, this lens is perfect. I am very satisfied with it, and glad I bought this one. Like many people, I need a zoom lens to get the job done, not to be PERFECT in every way. What lens is?

If you need a zoom lens, buy this one!
