Product DescriptionLens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. Dedicated lens hoods are designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for. . . . More >>

Fotodiox Dedicated (Bayonet) Lens Hood, for Canon EF-S USM 18-55mm f/3. 5-5. 6 I, II, IS Lens, 28-80mm f/3. 5-5. 6 II, II USM, III, IV, V,& 28-90mm f/4. 0-5. 6 Lenses as Canon EW-60c I bought the lens hood to help reduce sun spots as lens hoods should do. This product doesn’t do its job. If it extended out further then maybe it would, but my experience has been negative. Maybe the actual Canon product would extend out further, but unsure. As far as application it’s easy to apply and use just doesn’t help against the sun. If anything it will help protect your lens if dropped.

This product works as well as the more expensive Canon product, but much less expensive. I just received it and it works just fine. Just buy it.

What can I say? It does it’s job. Keeps out dust, along with light outside of the frame, which creates lens flare. Protects my lens and fits it perfectly.
At the time of this review, the price for this was $2. 44. Pretty damn cheap.
I paid $7. 95+S&H.

This lens hood seems to be pretty much an exact match for the much more expensive Canon-branded product. It mounts perfectly and seems to be well made. I have no problem recommending it.
