 a must have October 6, 2008
this is a great product. if you are looking at this, you already know the benefits of a lens hood. if you don't know why, just buy it, because as you learn more, you will find out you will need it.
 Handy Hood September 10, 2008
This lens hood does its job, and handily reverses on the camera lens for storage. My only complaint is the cost. Seems a little spendy for what you get.
Canon EW78BII Lens Hood - does the job September 7, 2008
Easy on and off. Does the job. No issues.
Sometimes you get distracted or there is an unexpected
trip, push or shove and the lens gets bumped.
This can do double duty as protection.
Performs as Intended September 5, 2008
The hood performs as intended, keeping stray light out of the large EF 28-135mm lens. This hood is an essential item when shooting outside in daylight, as lens flare is otherwise significant due to the nature of that particular lens. It's reversible for storage, and fits the lens very well. It is unnecessarily expensive, though, as it is merely a piece of plastic (custom fitted and produced by Canon, of course, but a mere piece of plastic nonetheless). However, although it costs more than the after-market hoods produced for the same lens, shipping is free (at the time of my purchase, anyway), and the shipping costs of the non-Canon hoods bring them to within a couple of dollars of this one. I therefore felt comfortable paying those extra couple of dollars for a Canon product, and am glad that I did.
Great quality & fit August 26, 2008
The hood is a perfect fit for my Canon 28-135mm lens. Great value. I am a beginner photographer w/ a Canon 40d. Highly recommend it.
