Average rating of 3/5 The shade isn't worth the price or trouble, 2009-11-10
I was pretty disappointed when I found the EF-S f/3.5-5.6 18-55mm lens doesn't come with a hood when Sony's lenses do so I decided to pick one up to help minimise flare.

PERFORMANCE

I'd have to agree with the other reviewer Andy here about how it's not worth the price or trouble. The brim is so small it provides very little shade for the lens to minimise lens flare or block out other extraneous side light sources. You'll hardly notice any difference before and after attaching the hood when faced with the problem of flare.

However, it does offer protection for your lens from accidental impacts and adds a small extra bit of "cool" factor to your camera to make it more professional looking if that's what you're after...

DESIGN

I didn't have too much trouble fitting it onto the AF lens I bought it for but it's quite a tight fit so you will probably want to hold the focus ring while doing so. It also means you probably don't want to fit it on backwards to save space in your bag because it would be very hard to remove without possibly damaging the lens.

It also doesn't have that "crunchy" sound that cheap plastic has when applying a bit of pressure to it but I don't think that justifies the price when it's almost effectiveless at its main job.

I understand charging for larger petal or lamp hoods but these small ones should really come free with Canon lenses.

SUMMARY

This hood won't give you enough shade for the money's worth. The quality of plastic feels pretty good but you'll probably only end up using this to protect your lens.

As all users of SLR / DSLR cameras know lens hoods are a must. so the earlier you start using them the better.

As with all Canon products this hood fits easily & does a great job at keeping out the stray light that often affects your images.
Simple & extremely effective!

Average rating of 5/5 Suppose it works :), 2010-06-16
I'm a newbie to DSLR photography.

I got carried away and bought one of these for a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens, purely because I thought it looks cool on the lens.

Seems to do the trick. A little bit expensive for a bit of (very good quality) plastic, but still worth it.

It would be nice, if Canon included these with all their lenses and not just their really expensive ones.
