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.
