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.

5 Stars Perfect Fit
I recently purchased a Canon Powershot SX20IS through Amazon. The lens cap fits securely on the lens barrel but there is no tether, only a clip inside to attach the cap onto the neck strap, which I don’t use. When I saw this item and the reviews were very positive, I decided to buy it. This is THE tether that all super zoom and DSLR cameras should include. The elastic band fits snugly around the lens barrel and the sticky button fits onto the lens cap securely. The tether may be one to two inches on the long side, but better long than too short.

4 Stars Good value for money
The capkeeper does what is supposed to do. I would have give it fivestars if it were customizable for both SLR lenses and ZDSLRs bodies.

4 Stars Great , hard to find item
Hunted all over for these after losing my lens cover. These are perfect, inexpensive and simple to use.

4 Stars So far so good…
I just purchased the Sima Capkeeper 2 and put it on my canon kit lens 28-135. Works great and seems to be sticking pretty securely and although the string is a bit short, it’s doable for this particular lens. I’m not so sure it would be long enough for a larger zoom without interfering.

5 Stars Works excellent with Nikon D40
This product works great with my stock nikon d40 kit lens. The sticky bits stick well, and althought the chord looks a bit short, it fits the 18-55 lens really well. I used a small c clamp to apply pressure to the sticky bit on the lens cap. So far so good! Two thumbs up!

Hoods offer several benefits to the photographer. Primarily the hood shades the lens from stray light that may result in an unwanted discoloration or hazing of the image, or the appearance of lens flare. Shading your lens helps improve contrast and image quality. A hood is not required to eliminate these problems, as any item used to shade the lens will provide the same protection from stray light. The hood is convenient in that it is built to offer protection while ensuring that it will not inadvertently find its way into your image. Photographers often state the protective abilities of a hood as a reason to have one.

5 Stars works perfectly
Works as its supposed to. You can reverse bayonette it when not in use. Has already protected my lens a couple times when I’ve accidentally banged it against something. Plus, it looks cool!

5 Stars doveTouch
Canon has a great camera. It provides great flexibility with a lot of help to be more user friendly. Great pictures with a little study – nice – plenty of other things to do with your time.

4 Stars A good hood for a rather expensive price
Perfect Canon hood, but you can find a cheaper alternative that can get the job done.

5 Stars Nice lens Hood
This lens hood twists on and off very easily. Much better than the old screw-on version I thought I was saving money on (but not time). Too bad the lens hood does not come with the lens. Recommended.

4 Stars Fits
The thing fits forward and backwards for easy storage. I haven’t done a lot of testing for effectiveness but if you want a hood for this lens then this is it for you.

5 Stars This is worth the money!
I’m satisfied with this and I’m planning on using with more higher end Canon cameras like the EOS line, but for now its good with the PowerShot SD940 IS especially since it shoots 720p @ 30FPS.

5 Stars Good product for the price
It fits perfectly my Rebel XS with kit lens (I haven’t tried bigger lens yet). It’s lightweighted and I can see me carrying it everywhere. It can be adjusted to several different hights, which gets taller than I can use (I’m 5 feet). Overall: for less than $40, this is a VERY good product.

4 Stars Worth more than the money
I got a new Canon camera, and the old tripod did not work with it, so I ordered the Canon 200

so I could shoot some Halloween pix outside in the dark. I actually paid almost as much for fast

shipping as the tripod. It works fine, folks. Not as good as a tripod costing 4 times as much, but

I knew that.

The complaints that this tripod is a piece of plastic junk are without merit.

It’s a pretty good little unit. Hard to beat the price.

And I will continue to use it.

5 Stars It’s a Canon…dude.
Well built and thought out. Solid and sturdy for its price. You wont regret it.

5 Stars Excellent Purchase!
This tripod is everything I could ask for and more. Excellent price, excellent shipping and I am extremely satisfied thanks!

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.

The Joby GP2-D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod is designed for Digital SLR Cameras and it comes with a bubble to help you level your picture.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Good
The tripod is good but is not what I expected it to be. May be I should have gone for the next higher quality model.

5 Stars fantastic addition to any camera
I originally got the smaller Joby tripod for my Sony digital camera(wx1), and returned it for this version. It was just too small for my needs. This is the perfect size to be able to carry with you wherever you go. It wraps around mostly anything, easy to stow, very stable, and made of high quality. The addition of the bubble level is great also. I really couldn’t ask for more.

5 Stars Very useful for non-flat surfaces!
This product is very useful to take pictures whenever were you stay! It’s not an excuse to say “we don’t have where tu put the camera!” again…just use this tripod and all your problems will be resolve…good luck!

3 Stars Strong enough for a DLSR my ACE!!
Sorry, but this is a joke. Please don’t label something DSLR capable when it’s barely strong enough to hold a super zoom camera.

Maybe I got a poor copy, but if I didn’t, don’t expect much out of yours.

I LOVE the idea, I have other Gorillapods for standard size cameras and they are exceptional. I LOVE the quick release and the level that comes standard.

This thing can’t hold my canon 5d mark II with a tiny 50mm lens.

Sorry, but that’s disappointing!

I’m not returning it because it works well for so many other things.

5 Stars Great tripod. Make sure you choose the right one for your type of camera.
I don’t agree with the negative review about this tripod, because the wrong size was chosen by the buyer. There are different sizes of Gorillapods for different sizes of cameras and lenses. This one is specified for smaller cameras, and for that purpose it works great (at least for me it does). My advice: before you buy andy Gorillapod, check on Joby’s website which one’s right for the type of camera and lens you have, and then you can come back to buy it cheaper @ Amazon.
