I originally ordered the EW 78D, however it was the wrong size for my lens( completely my mistake. Adorama's return policy and process was easy and efficient. They sent me the ET 63 - which was received quickly through the return policy and exactly what I needed. Could not be more pleased with the quality of product and service

The lens hood works well. I use it on the canon 18-200 IS EF-S lens. When "stored" on the lens, you can still work the zoom.

Wanted a way to block unwanted light and this is the answer.

I figured being a canon product it would work well, but I found that if you flip it around and try to use the flash it leaves a shadow on the image.

This lens hood can be installed "backwards" for portability when not using the camera.

I added this lens to my bag and didn't know if I should but the hood...waited and took several photos at events without it and then compared those shots to another lens with a hood and saw a difference that wanted to ensure was going to be there...so I bought the hood...went with Canon as it hard and durable and will last.

Teamed with a U.V. filter, a lens hood is a must for protection and reducing likelihood of lens flair. I use Canon lens hoods on all my Canon glass and have never had any problem with fit or durability, even after the occasional (but inevitable) bangs and bumps.

Not the cheapest piece of kit for what it is, but still a must have for serious shooters. As with all Canon accessories it fits and functions perfectly.

It keeps out the sun flares during outdoor photography, and more importantly, it protects your lenses from damage from that inevitable smack against some hard object.

As usual I am strongly impressed with Canon products. Been using their cameras since 1966 and printers since 1991. I use the hood most of the time with it's dedicated lens. It does the job.

Need to remove lens hood when using camera's built-in flash. Otherwise, there's a shadow at the bottom of the picture.

Well Constructed comes to mind first. I expect this hood will be able to take plenty of abuse and last for quite some time.
