Questions & Answers

Anthony B : Is this hood reversible on the 15-85mm lens?BRIAN S : yesDOUGLAS V : Yes.It locks in place just like in the forward position.It allows zooming in the reversed stored position. It is reversible with the OEM lens cap on.I use B+W filters and it clears them too.ROBERT C : YesSTANLEY K : Trversible? It's a clip-on, so you can mount it backwards, if that's what you mea.NICHOLAS G : Yes- I turn it backwards and screw on to store in less spaceRYALS L : Yes, it is. I just tried it to be certain...MICHAEL S : YesBLAKE S : If you mean you can turn it around to store than yes it is.
Shopper : What 78E stand for? Is this the correct hood for 72mm filter?JAMES W : It is Canons ID # and has nothing to do with the filter size. The lens hood mounts to the outside of the lens, while the filter mounts to the front of the lens. Hope that helps you. Good shooting.ROBERT K : this hood is only for this lens yes 72mmJOSH M : I think the "78E" is just an arbitrary model number. I bought this hood and it fits my Canon 15-85mm w/ a 72mm filter ring. Would probably make more sense if they called it the 72E...it's confusing.MATTHEW K : 72mm filter fits perfect no problemJAN D : It is the correct lens hood. It goes into the outer bayonet of the 15-85mm zoom lens so that you can still use the 72 mm filter thread for your UV or polarizing filter. The lens hood also inverts for storage on the bayonet.JOHN S : The number is Canon's model number for this particular lens hood. This hood is made for the EF-S 15-85mm lens and will fit only that lens. You can find much more information on Canon's website.MANNY E : The "78E" is part of the model number for the hood. This hood is for the 15-85 lens which indeed uses 72mm filters.KEN B : I'm not sure what "EW-78E" stands for but is the correct hood for the EF-S 15-85.DAVID H T : Sorry that I can't help you with what the 78E stands for. The 15-85mm lens takes a 72mm filter. The filter screws inside the front lens and the hood fits over the outside, so the 72mm filter should work. I don't use filters because I believe they deteoriate image quality. Hope this helps. David ThompsonARNO P : I don't know what 78 E stands for, but it is this the correct filter for 72 mmALEX L : This hood only fits one lens: EF-S 15-85. It will not fit other Canon 72mm lenses. It does work with 72mm filters mounted onto that lens. 78E is just Canon's model number. I don't think it stands for anything meaningful.EDGARDO S : I believe EW-78E is Canon Lens Hood part number for their hood that fits the EF-S 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens. The hood is not made for a filter but rather for a lens. A 72mm filter will fit the EF-S 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens. I hope this answers your questions.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?FRED D : I didn't have one and hoods do not come with lensMICHAEL S : Already have lensHERMAN S : Canon Quality & ReputationSTEVEN M : I needed it for preventing sun glaresRICHARD N : For lens protection and flare minimization

Quality hood

Excellent quality & fit as you'd expect from Canon products. Expensive for what you get, but this isn't a cheap hobby. Works well to control flare outdoors. Side benefit is additional protection of the front of the lens. *Warning* - Hood will create shadows in image if used in conjunction with built-in flash at wide angles. Have not tested with external flash.

Quality lens hood

Excellent lens hood, quality you expect from Canon. Must be careful when using indoors with pop-up flash as shadowing can occur at wide focal lengths.

You Get What You Pay For

I've purchased cheaper lens hoods and they have worked fine, but you can tell they are cheap by the way they fit and feel in your hand. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. Canon makes quality products and this lens hood is no exception. It feels solid and snaps into position so you know it won't accidentally fall off.

[...]Amazing Product.

[...] I contemplated going with a cheap third party lens due to the price, but i decided to stay with the genuine canon brand. I do not regret dropping the extra cash on this lens hood. The quality is amazing and it makes my Canon 7D look highly sophisticated when mounted in forward or reverse. I highly recommend getting the canon brand lens hood over a cheap third party one. You have a better peace of mind when purchasing the brand name hood and you are reminded when constantly looking at the canon logo. The inside of the lens hood features a soft black velvet texture to avoid sun reflections. As a frugal photographer, this was money well spent in my eyes and on the lens.

Works as intended

A much needed product for Canon's 15-85mm lens. I was thinking of going with a 3rd party hood, but decided to stick with Canon since I wanted to make sure the lens fit well. No complaints except for the fact that is a bit expensive and is almost 95% required if you are using the 15-85mm zoomed out to 15mm to combat lens flair.

Perfect Fit

This is a perfect fit for my EFS 15-85mm lens. I like the inside felt lining which you don't find in some third party hoods. Had a Promaster hood but it felt flimsy.

Canon 15-85mm lens hood

Great Hood. Overpriced, like all Canon accessories, but I wanted to make sure it fit properly and I just didn't trust 3rd party hoods.

Lens Hood for Canon EF-S 15-85 f/3.5-5.6

It's a nice accessory to the lens too bad Canon did not included as part of lens kit. It's expensive but the quality is excellent. Highly recommended.

I like it.....but

I like it for added lens protection.....but it is difficult to get you fingers inside the hood to remove and reinstall the lens cap.
