Specially designed Lens Hood for the CANON EF 50MM f/1.4 Lens (CAN 50MM/1.4USM)/ Prevents glare and unwanted lens flare

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars really….
30 bucks for this is an over kill….but it is good quality and worth it. If I did it again I would still probably buy this one over a knock off that is 1/3 of the price…

5 Stars A must to protect the lens!
I bought this hood only to protect the lens. A Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 SLR Lens is a very easy damage thing when the barrel is extended. Even though I’m very careful with my stuff the lens broke two times in the past. First time withing the term covered by warranty and second time I had to pay $95 to Canon for repair. The hood is much cheaper than that and protects the telescoping part of the lens very well.

4 Stars good, but overpriced
Good, but overpriced. Thought of buying a generic version, but thought twice and got this. Why buy a cheap lens cover on a $400 lens? I worried about the generic lens cover won’t fit right and cannot be flipped around and be mounted. OEM is always the best, but with a price tag. Did I regret getting this over the generic version? Nope. Why? If I was going cheap, I would had gotten the 50mm 1.8 instead of the 1.4.

4 Stars Better then expected
Like many of you, I looked all over the internet in order to find a hood for my 50mm 1.4. As you all know, they range in price by a lot. I finally broke down and decided to get the canon brand, which was also the most expensive. The whole time I was thinking to myself, why am I paying 30 bucks for a piece of plastic. I must say that when I got the hood, I was mildly surprised that it wasn’t just a formed piece of plastic. The inside is lined with felt and the construction feels good. Now is it worth the 30 bucks? Well, maybe not quite, that is why I gave it 4 stars. However I was impressed that it does look and feel in person more then what I’d imagine I’d get if I bought the 10 dollar generic one. I have it on my lens and it looks great and helps to protect the lens too.

5 Stars Does not come off my lens
I love this hood so much that I don’t bother with the lens cap. I bought a knockoff hood prior to this purchase and its totally not the same. The velvet flocking on the inside of the hood is great for collecting dust that would normally go unto the lens.

Quick on time delivery, Battery as was expected original battery in canon pack made in Japan.

5 Stars Canon Battery Pack
I am a professional photographer and have owned a variety of pro version cameras. I have bought ‘no name’ brands and the camera name brand batteries for all my cameras (Fuji and Canon). It really does make a difference. The actual name brand will last much longer. I bought two Canon LP-E5 Battery Packs through Amazon-by far the lowest price of ANY other retailer selling the Canon brand! Once I find the product I am looking for price dictates where I purchase. My batteries have staying power! This was a good purchase.

haven’t used it enough yet to see how many pictures i can take with it

5 Stars Canon Lp-E5 Battery Pack
The battery was very reasonable in price and came very fast. I buy a lot from Amazon and have always been happy with every thing I get.

4 Stars Nice battey and average life
This battery look ok but when i compared to original Canon battery there is little difference between the text so i suspect this might not be original canon battery or Canon may release batteries different version for DSL cameras and spare batteries. I haven’t used the battery yet so i cannot comment on this battery. But i believe it is a good battery

5 Stars Canon 50D is all that!
Former Sony A100 user never was quite happy with the Sony quality overall after 3 yrs.

I decided to become a Canon Gal this past September 09!

Now there is no turning back!

I use my equipment professionally and for personal as well.

I can’t wait to upgrade in 2 yrs for the 5DMII cause if the results from a crop are this good I can imagine with the full frame!

Absolutely recommend this to anyone, if not the 50D, any Canon will do.

5 Stars The Canon 50D is everything it’s supposed to be!
Hey, Canon fans! If you’re like me, you have put off buying this camera because it costs a bit more than the Rebel line. When you weigh the camera differences against the cost difference, I promise you that the 50D will come out on top. I previously have owned two Rebels. The kit lens (28-135mm USM IS) is very good also. I may never be able to afford Canon’s outstanding L-series lenses, but the Canon lenses I do have are Image Stabilized and work perfect for me. The camera is built like a tank and is a little bigger and heavier than the Rebels, but that ends up making the camera feel better in my hands, and I am of average build. The 50D is packed with pro features plus Live View, and is more light sensitive than any other camera I have owned. Amazon had the best price and they had it in my hot little hands in just a few days! Outstanding camera. Outstanding price. Outstanding company… Amazon!!! You may regret putting off this purchase any longer.

5 Stars Still the best small body DSLR today
I did a lot of comparison between so many DSLR camera around this price and even bought a Canon EOS 1000D in the beginning.

I also had the Nikon D40, which was pathetic and disappointing.

This 50D does not disappoint at all.

Robust build quality, decent portability, great battery life, amazing features, image quality, not to mention the admission to join the biggest used camera stuff: lenses, etc.

For this kind of price, it will beat anything else out there: Sony, Pentax, Nikon, etc.

The higher ISO is actually quite amazing, compared to the newer 7D, it only losses after Extended ISO (12800>)

Enough said about this camera, if you’re not planning to do any HD filming then save $700 and get this instead of the new 7D.

Bringing a new level of versatility and capability to flash photography, the Speedlite 430EX II features a powerful flash (guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100) with a fast recycling time in a compact, durable body. A one-touch quick-lock mechanism makes it easy to attach or detach the 430EX II from the camera and a metal foot has been added for strength and durability. Flash controls can now be set through the camera’s LCD screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras. The Speedlite 430EX II is also quieter, recycle time is 20 percent faster (as compared to the 430EX) and since it is compatible with Canon’s wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable “slave unit.”

5 Stars Case needs a belt loop
Not much to add that hasn’t been said, but I wish the storage case had a belt loop. It wouldn’t add more than pennies to the cost, but would let you carry it on your belt when you need it but don’t want it mounted full time, or let you run your camera bag strap through it when space in the bag’s at a premium. Still five stars.

4 Stars Canon 430EX II
The Canon 430EX II. Using the unit with the Canon SX1 IS and works very well. Controls easy to work. The LCD is large enough, but in low light a little hard to read. Some of the functions can not be used with the SX1, but for my use it’s no problem. The way the unit locks on to the camera is much better then turning the screw knob I had on my 540EZ. I looked at the 580EX, but that is a bit to large for the SX1. I think it’s a good flash for the amature or pro. Ordered from Amazon and had the unit in 3 days.

5 Stars yes please
Great flash, enough said. Small in size and in price when it comes to new flash units. Works great, especially since I do not need anything bigger!

5 Stars Canon Speedlite 430EX II
Obviously, goes well with the EOS cameras. I’ve only had it for less than a week, so I’m still learning how to use the large number of features. These features provide a lot of flexibility, especially when coupled with all of the different camera modes. Recycle time and battery consumption also seem to be good, again given the short amount of time I’ve been using it (but a lot of test shots). I’ve gotten good results with flash coverage as far as 30′ (which may not be its limit, but it’s as much as I’ve used so far). The low light focus assist is a great benefit in speeding up the camera’s focus under those conditions. It’s not a small unit, but not unwieldy, either. The rotate/bounce really helps to soften the sometimes harsh flash light. This seems to be a great addition to my EOS camera.

4 Stars Very Good overall
Before I bought this item, I did a little research by reading reviews from people who’ve purchased this particular flash as well as asking those with more experience. I was told that the 430EX was a good flash to get started with–and they were right. I use a Canon Rebel XSi(450D) and I tried looking at the 580 but it looked much too massive for it. Although the 580 has features that the 430 doesn’t, I’m not a professional photographer that owns a studio for portraits and stuff, so I decided on the simpler model. I love the fact that it swivels up and down, left to right to achieve certain lighting effects that you wouldn’t get with lower-end flashes. I was a tiny bit disappointed that the light it emits isn’t much stronger that the built-in flash, BUT in order to be fair, I haven’t had the opportunity to discover its maximum potential yet. There is a shutter synchro function (as well as other functions) that I haven’t played around with, and when I do, I’d be sure tell you all about it. Overall, its a good flash to own and I’d recommend it to those who, like me, are just getting started learning the fine art of photography.

2 Stars just a battery that does what it should
WAY too expensive for what it is: just a rechargeable battery that is worth about $5. Canon should be proud of themselves for EXTREME price gouging. They could charge $10 for this item, make a huge profit doing so, and not alienate their customers.

The electrical capacity is ok, but not great. And the “smart” feature is slightly better than useless. Yes, it is nice to see how much charge is remaining, but that feature is not worth the $50+ that Canon robs you for.

I tried a generic battery for about $10 (including its own charger), but that battery was physically slightly too big and it jammed in the camera and had to be pried out. This Canon battery fits properly, so I’m stuck buying Canon batteries until I can find a generic that fits.

5 Stars One just isn’t enough…
For anyone who thinks this battery is expensive, I say “You must be new to digital photography!”. Ever since I got a camcorder a decade ago, then later started using little digital cameras, and now finally the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, battery power has been an issue. Gone are the days of mechanical SLR’s with little button batteries for the meter!

Today’s electronic image-making devices use major power. Without a good battery, you have nothing but a brick. I have developed a habit of having plenty of power available. I purchased the battery grip so I could put two batteries in the camera, and have the AA-battery clip in reserve. I want to take pictures not drive tent stakes with my brick!

These batteries provide plenty of power to shoot. But as the manual warns, the more you review your images, the more you use Image Stabilization; the more you auto-focus, the faster the batteries will drain. And if it’s cold outside…. You want to have power to spare if you’re serious about making images. These are the batteries you want. Don’t fool yourself into saving a couple dollars on a generic battery – you will not get a real savings. They don’t provide as many charge cycles and they don’t report their status as well. It’s not worth the savings!

5 Stars Buy Canon or go home!
Buy this Canon brand battery for you 5D Mark ll. It’s worth the price for the battery info feature of your Mark ll. Go Canon or go home!

Canon LP-E6 Battery Pack for Canon 5D Mark II Digital SLR

5 Stars good and high quality battery for reasonable price
I bought this one for ~$60 on amazon. It’s a bargain already since its original price (last year) was $120 and up. This is a high quality, high capacity battery with some integrated information chip (which show you the history of battery, recharge, no. of shots taken, etc.). It’s not something luxury – just a “nice to have” feature.

5 Stars High quality optics
I have both the Canon 24-70 and this lens. The quality and sharpness of the image taken with this lens is outstanding. I really can not tell them apart from the Canon (BOTH PIN SHARP). I use this on my back-up camera but it’s easier to carry around for a long period of time – much lighter. The build quality of the Canon is better and it is a much sturdier lens. The Canon has full time manual which I need when shooting weddings – I was concerned with damaging the Tamron which does not have full time manual. Overall this lens is an outstanding value – I would not hesitate to buy it.

4 Stars Great for indoor sports
I had problems taking indoor basketball shots with the f3.5 zoom, and this f2.8 zoom solved my problems at 1/2 the price of a canon.

4 Stars Good Value for a Fine Lens
Not having the change to spring for the Canon “L” equivalent, I did my research and decided this would more than suffice. Having used it for some recent photos, I can say it was a good decision. Build quality seems quite good and the zoom mechanism has just the right feel. Sharpness at normal aperatures is very good and even at f2.8 is not too soft on my Canon 20D. Should make a good ‘walkabout’ lens and even a credible portrait lens at 60mm+ (although it is hard to beat the portraits taken with my 50mm f1.4). There is a little autofocus searching under dimmer light conditions, but not bad and certainly not a problem for normal landscape photos that I like to take. Comes with a short hood, unlike many Canon lenses. My first Tamron. Nice job Tamron!

4 Stars Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8

4 Stars Good in a pinch…
I have had this flash for a little over a month now. I am very “anti-flash” and will pretty much do ANYTHING I CAN not to need one. There is only so much you can do with your aperture, ISO, and shutter speed before you start losing serious quality in your photos…sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and use the flash. I find that this flash paired with a Lumiquest Portable Softbox and bounced off a white ceiling really does the trick in low light situations. I haven’t had much of a problem so far…and it has made it possible to take crisp photos even in an almost dark area. I say, for the price, it is certainly worth a try.

4 Stars Great flash for the price
I recently purchased this flash for my Canon Rebel XS and was a little worried about buying a flash that didnt have the Canon name on it, but when I looked at the price difference between the Canon 430 and this, I decided I would try this out. So far, I am quite impressed with the flash. The flash level seems bright but not too bright and with a omnibounce diffuser on it, it takes great pictures in low light settings. The reason I gave this a four rather than a five is that it does have a little bit of a cheap plastic feel to it and since it is not a Canon, you can not do as much adjusting with the flash inside the camera. Overall great product, especially for those on a budget, need a spare flash, or just starting in the DSLR world.

2 Stars Did not last very long…
I bought this for my daughters Canon EOS XSi, which she uses for her photography class.

She got about a month worth of use from it, then it died. Just beyond the return policy limit. Go figure.

Qualiy was just ok… maybe 8/10. Could be a little more solid in my mind.

Functionality was about a 9/10. Not bad for a $50 flash.

I really like(d) the telescoping flash lens, which converts the flash from direct to diffused flash instantly without adding a separate diffuser. VERY nice feature.

I would give it a 4/5 if it did not die on me so soon.

5 Stars Bright bang for the buck
Great value for this product. I’ve been using it for about 4 months and can confidently recommend it. Bright, with new batteries (rechargables) recycle time was 1 s. Simple functions, lightweight and stellar with a soft box. Great as an off camera flash too.

Look, if you want to compare a $500 Canon Speedlite to this $50 product you’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t see Motor Trend comparing an Acura with a Yugo. But if you want a great intro flash to learn about strobes then you can’t beat this deal.

3 Stars My experience with the Precision Design Flash
The flash was a little difficult to use at first. I was in a gym at a volleyball game and the lighting was very dim. I had to adjust the flash several different times to acquire a clear picture – which meant I missed some “Kodak” moments. I am learning how to bounce the light but overall it is a good product.

5 Stars No Regrets
I knew I was going to need more than one battery to feed the camera when I go shooting. I was tired of tracking battery life and having to swap batteries mid-session. I was uncomfortable about the possibility of running both batteries down and not having an alternative.

The Battery Grip solves all that. It holds two batteries and comes with an insert that holds AA Batteries (I bought some lithium ones) so you can shoot at least twice as long before needing to recharge, AND you can use readily available AA Batteries if you hit the wall and need to keep shooting.

The extra features of this grip include the second set of controls on the side so that when the camera is in vertical you can still shoot with all your controls handy – and no contortion. Second, the base cover for the battery compartment on the camera stows inside the Battery Grip where you pretty much can’t lose it and where it is readily available if you need to swap off the grip and go back to using the battery inside the camera (some lenses on a tripod won’t tolerate the Battery Grip because of fit issues with the tripod).

Does this add to the size of the camera. DOH! For me that’s not an issue. I have really big hands and it actually helps me better manage the camera. But if you’re trying to travel light, you will find that from a size point of view, it’s a trade-off. For me, there is no doubt this was the way to go. Now when I climb Mt Fuji…we’ll see… But I will still have extra batteries!

4 Stars A must have.
An absolute must have accessory especially when using the 70-200mm 2.8/f IS USM or larger lenses. The extra weight helps balance the larger lenses and the extra controls make multiple portrait shots more comfortable. Having the option to use AA batteries although not preferred is nice as well.

4 Stars Great addition to battery life and addition camera control
Battery life excellent, additional grip space a plus and having the additional controls on the grip makes vertical shooting easier. The only con I can see is the additional weight it adds to the camera but the pros outweigh that issue. I would recommend to those needing extended shooting battery capacity

5 Stars Solid Gear
I can’t see how I would shoot without this. I wouldn’t go cheap and get the knockoff. Get the real Canon part and feel better about yourself

I love the battery grip. Just buy it!

4 Stars Expensive but necessary…
i bought this when there weren’t any knockoff battery grips. if i buy another 5d II in the future, i’m probably getting a plastic knockoff grip for my 2nd camera.

the way i shoot, i HAVE to have a battery grip. i don’t mind turning my wrist, but the time it saves me later straightening out all of my pictures makes it well worth it. plus, who can’t use the extra battery life?

other than that, everything works exactly how it’s supposed to. the grip matches up perfectly with the 5d mk II’s body and stays tight/looks great. every once in a while i’ll set it on my lap and accidentally take a few pictures or accidentally hit the shutter button while reviewing pictures…but all user error.

i rated this a 4 because it’s a little expensive. granted, i paid $300 for mine and now you can get them almost 20% cheaper than that. if you can’t afford it or don’t want to…read reviews, you’ll see there are some very good 3rd party plastic grips for the 5d II and decide for yourself if it’s worth the extra $160 or not.
