Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EW-73B for EF 17-85:
An item I always like for my lens. Don't understand why Canon does not include this with their lens - had to buy it separately - my one complaint.
Canon needs to consider adding this to the lens packages, it is NOT that expensive!

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EW-73B for EF 17-85:
Lens Hood stays on my camera and reverses to become more compact when in bag. Lens cover can be put on both ways. Does its job in keeping the glare out but is a pricey piece of plastic. I would purchase again.

just in case we drop our lens most times the lens will not break, and keep other light from shinning on my lens

It works well, but it was rather expensive for just being a small piece of plastic.

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EW-73B for EF 17-85:
The EF-S 17-85mm is not an L lens so it does not include the hood when you purchase the lens. There are generic alternatives to the original Canon hood though.

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EW-73B for EF 17-85:
It is really a mute point... Would have paid extra for it with the lens, did pay extra for it separately. However, there is something galling about the hood not being included with the lens.

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EW-73B for EF 17-85:
If you have a EF 17-85 by Canon lens and shoot outdoors then a must have is the canon lens hood. Unless lens flare is what you are after there is no quicker alternative to shooting outdoors for portraits, sporting events, and landscapes. The lens hood is difficult to maneuver around for manual focus and zoom when screwed onto the lens in the "wait for later" position. For fast action shots that might slow you down. Otherwise it is a must have.

The product is easy to use, but makes the camera somewhat more bulky.

Comments about Canon Canon Lens Hood EW-73B for EF 17-85:
Using this lens hood definitely has made a difference in glare and occasional "spottiness" that sometimes appeared in my pictures. The petaled design makes it lightweight and easy to use. I know of others who had bought generic lens hoods, who have not been nearly as satisfied as I. I would purchase the same item again.
