GREAT ITEM . . .

Had one from Adorama years back and lost it. I was really bummed. This is an excellent item and I find it superior to metal hoods.

Good product, inexpensive

I bought this lens hood primarily for protection of the lens while on the camera as it gets carried/moved about. Works well for that. I can still insert the standard lens cap on my 18-135 EFS lens with the hood on - some hoods don't allow for this. Even though named "Wide Angle" lens hood, at the 18mm end, the hood blocks the corners of the picture, but it's soft enough to fold back out of the way when shooting (as long as I remember).

Vignetting/Canon 18-135 IS STM

I purchased this to provide protection for the lens against bumps. I use a thin HOYA UV filter on the lens but it is just enough to position the hood forward and produce vignetting when using the lens between 18-35 mm on a T5I Canon APS camera.

About ProOptic WA Rubber Lens Hood

Lens hoods guard against uncontrolled, stray light and unwanted reflections which result in reduced contrast and possible "ghost Images". In general, the use of a lens hood is recommended because better contrast improves the appearance of the photograph. This accessory also offers protection for the front lens element against rain and mechanical damage.

Wide Angle Rubber Lens Hoods are made from high - quality black rubber for lenses with an angle of view wider than 70 degrees. Due to its shape and size, it prevents vigetting and should only be used without a filter.
