Professional Review:
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.

   Summary: control flare and washout on your lens
I got this hood for an EF 85mm/f1.8. The filter works as advertised, and feels solid when it's on the camera, even though the mounting mechanism looks kind of cheap.

I'm not sure a cheap-o rubber hood would not be as good. Considering the price, you might want to try one out.

I give 4 stars because of the egregious price for a piece of plastic.

** UPDATE **

I want to give it 1 star now for popping off my 85/1.8. Also, as it turns out, this hood sinks, as I found out as I watched it sink into the murky depths of the Berkeley marina.

I replaced it with a screw on rubber hood and I've been happy with that.

   Summary: ... to serve and protect
Besides the unreasonable price for all Canon hoods, this one looks great and performs as advertised. It has a black felt interior lining and a firm twist on installation. Besides cutting down on stray lighting, it most importantly protects my lens from getting damage. The lens is heavy enough to make my camera lean forward when sitting down, and the hood provides a convenient resting spot instead of touching the lens.

   Summary: Worthy addition to your Camera Kit
Lightweight, quick-fitting onto lens,...the only issue is storage and transportation,..need a larger camera case if you intend to leave it attached to the lens.

   Summary: ET65III Hood Review
Con's:
Flimsy attachment mechanism requires a thumb and forefinger to press latch on both sides to remove and attach. Not easy for small hands. Not really easy for big ones either. Goes flying about every third time with dry cold hands. Haven't tried sweaty yet. Doesn't twist and snap like my other lenses (L-series feature?)

Pro's
Makes 85mm F1.8 look cool. Won't damage your lens in a glancing blow (it'll pop off).


 Rating 3   Written on March 18, 2007
   Summary: It's a flocked cylinder
It is a tube, not unlike a toilet paper tube. You could paint a piece of pringles can and make your own. In reality, it should have been included with the lens, (mine was an 85mm 1.8, but this hood also works on a 135mm 2.8 Soft focus)but oh well. i had a gift cetificate, so it cost me 35 cents. that's about what it's worth
