I asked for a lens hood for an EF 28-200 and got one for an EF 28-135 which does not work. It ruined several of my vacation pictures before I realized the error.

Excellent transaction. Always a pleasure to do business with Adorama!

Gets the job done by reducing/eliminating sun/lens flares. Expensive though for a plastic material, canon should have included it like other manufacturers do.

Not much to add, it does the job. I wish Canon would include a hood with all their lens.

The lens hood does a good job of protecting the lens but not too impressed with the flare prevention. Not sure what the deal is with having a flower shaped lens hood. A simple full circle would have done a better job of preventing flares.

Cannot turn the Zoom right while the hood is in the storage position, big minus for me. I took a lot of indoor pictures, there is no need for the hood.
from Hasting on Hudson NY on 6/12/2008
A little high in price. It should be included in the lens price.

Stops lens flare..
from Utah on 5/8/2008
Historically I am used to metal hoods (Nikon) I have come to like the plastic hoods such as this. My cameras get heavy use, so they are in and out of the bags, roughed up a little while I run to catch the action etc...and these hoods do not show the wear that the metal hoods do. I still think Cannon should supply the hoods with the lenses...but.. Adorama is a great place to purchase equipment!

I bought this product because of the glare I have with the ef 28-135 lens when I was taking pictures at the lake. No more glare enter through the front unexpectedly.
from Charlotte, NC on 4/16/2008
No problems. As much as the lens cost I would have thought Canon would have made it part of the package.
from Cleveland, Ohio on 1/22/2008
This product is very easy to use,fits well on my camera lens. I don't have any complaisance able my purchase price or this product.
from Warsaw, NY on 1/21/2008
This lens cap lets too much light in at times through the cut out portion and you need to use your free hand to help cut the glare. It's also difficult to get the lens cap on and off as it's a tight fit and tends to come off too easy. Overall, functions as designed.
- Hood does its job very well (at least for me).
- I wish canon included this item with the lens like the L series.
- Gives extra protection
from New York State on 9/26/2007
Generally good for controlling stray light.
Offers some level of protection for the lens as well.
Must make sure it is on in the proper position, ( with Words facing up) so that there are no shadows when the flash is used.
The lens this fits on is a little "soft"
not as good as the 17-85mm, however the cost of the 28-135mm is reasonable for an IS lens.
The product works great to remove unwanted glare, but it is way to expensive. For the cost of Canon lenses they should provide the hood, like their competition does. I would have gave it 5 stars exept for the price.

The lens hood does its job: eliminating/reducing glare that is outside the frame and provide some protection to the glass from bumps and scrapes. It also helps the AF by reducing the glare which can frustrate the AF-system.It is great when moving through crowds and tight spaces because it protects the glass from those bumps, brush-bys, and scratches which can ruin the lens ([$]...so protect it).The only two problems I ran into were:-slight shadow at 28mm when the pop-up flash is used.-lens cap is difficult to remove and impossible to put back on once the hood is on. So, remove the lens cap before putting on the hood.Two additional benefits:-lens hood can be put on backwards for storage with the lens and will allow the lens cap to be easily used.-makes your lens look even more pro.

This product helps with sunlight and glare, but also helps protect the lens, especially in crowds.
from Ridgeland, MS on 2/5/2007
This is a great accessory for anyone with the lens. It works great on filtering out unwanted peripheral light that could otherwise damage a good shot. The light absorbing textured material applied to the inside of the hood helps cut down on even more unwanted light. You will need an external flash if you use this hood, as the Canon built in flash will not illuminate around the lens and hood. Taking the hood on and off takes a little practice, but overall it is a great purchase.

A must have.It does its job well.
