Canon ET65III Lens Hood for Canon SLR Lens
A lens hood is one of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars A little overpriced
The product and the package it came in was actually a lot smaller than expected, so I feel that it is a bit overpriced for such a simple product.
5 Stars Fits fine on Canon EF 85mm 1.8 lens
I found that the hood goes on real easy and not hard at all to get off if you use a gentle touch.
It locks on nicely and only needs a soft compression of side tabs to get off. Press too hard and you will get frustrated. Definitely over-priced for what little plastic there is but the black felting on the inside does eliminate any reflected glare. If someone could make a knock-off for half the price they would get rich.
4 Stars Does the job, but should come with the lens.
Really wish Canon would include hoods with all lenses, seems silly to nickel and dime for a platic tube.
4 Stars Does the job
There’s not much to say. The hood does its job. It’s easy to mount/unmount and can be mounted in reverse.
3 Stars Not that secure
The product works as advertised. But the design of the lens and the hood attachment is not the most secure. My other lens hoods screws on to the lens. This is attached through 4 prongs that attaches to a thin grove on the lens. With any force, the hood can pop out so may to serve to protect the lens when dropped.
