Comments about Adorama Adorama 58mm Rubber Lens Hood:

I don't recall anymore just what I paid for this, but for the [$] I paid, I'm satisfied.There is visible glue coming from the seams which makes this thing kinda unsightly, but hey....it still works just fine.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 58mm Rubber Lens Hood:

I am not sure why I thought this would be sufficient enough for my Canon 85mm 1.8. I take full responsibility for making the wrong decision.

First of all, it only extends a 1/2" over the lens...so it's not really a traditional hood per se. I also couldn't get it to screw on correctly. The threading is kinda funky on this little guy.

I went ahead and ended up purchasing the Canon genuine hood for the Canon 85mm 1.8, which is what I should have done in the first place for such a nice lens.

Comments about Adorama Adorama 58mm Rubber Lens Hood:

This seems like an ok hood, but is bulky and doesn't feel like it will last very long. It will get me through until I can save enough allowance to buy a dedicated hood

Comments about Adorama Adorama 58mm Rubber Lens Hood:

Cheap alternative to some of the rediculously priced hoods out there. This works best with medium telephoto lenses and, as with all Adorama branded products, is well made and functional.
