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.

The hood build isn't as good as others. It's not a twist on as I prefer them to be but this little bugger gets the job done.

The seller's service was good - the item shipped and arrived as expected with no problems.
The lens hood itself is a little hard to align properly when applied to the lens, and for the same reason it also sometimes catches a bit on removal. It's also not very sturdy. But all these things I anticipated from other reviewers' remarks, so I'm not surprised or disappointed. In the end it does its job and the price was right.

When I used my 50mm 1.8 outside in bright sunlight I frequently got very overexposed pictures, more than two stops in some cases using aperture priority on my Rebel XSI. I partially remedied that by setting my exposure -2/3. I agree with others this is overpriced for a piece of plastic, but since adding this filter I have no overexposures. It's worth it for me.

I am impressed with the lens hood. I am a beginner but found it much easier to take pictures in all periods of the day using the hood.

Editorial Reviews
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering by extending and shading the end of the lens, ensuring no problems with vignetting or motor functions. Additionally, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Lens hoods match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for. This lens hood fits the following Canon lens:
- EF 50mm f1.8 II
