Questions & Answers

DEAN S : Will this fit a Yongnuo 35mm F2N Nikon mount lens that takes a 58mm filter?FRANK B : Hi Dean Filter size is not relevant here. I use this on a Canon 50mm lens that takes a 49mm filter. This hood threads on to the lens body on the outside. The hole in the hood where the threads join is about 68mm. The OD of your lens must be threaded and 68mm to use this hood.ANDREW R : Fit is specified only for the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. Even if it did fit your Yongnuo 35mm you would likely get vignetting from the hood due to it's design for 50mm lenses.

Wonderful quality & low price!

It works wonderfully. No issues attaching it to my canon camera. I'm sure it's already protected my new lens from a fair share of possible hits or dents on the wall. Very happy with quality of the product, would buy again if needed.

Completes the lens

This fit the Canon 50 mm lens. It actually locks on and is very deep to provide good protection and light shielding. Glad I added to my purchase.

just as good as brand name, for a fraction of the price

Works perfectly! Much cheaper than the original, brand-name Canon lens hood and does the same job just as well. Looks good, too - exactly as pictured. It even has a little locking tab to help keep to the lens, just press it in and twist to remove hood from the lens. Helps prevent flares and ghosting and improves contrast by keeping stray light away from the lens. Very glad I picked this little thing up!

A well made product that does what it is supposed to do. Great price when you don’t have to pay extra for the ‘famous’ logo.

Good buy

I really like this lens. For the price and I use it for basic portrait photos. I tried it with macro and it was good too. I like that when taking photos with low light it did a good job as well. Using it on both my cameras it was very good. 5DS R and the rebel Ti 3

Third party replacement hood

Needed replacement hood, OE hood not worth expense. Fits well, serves purpose. Should have flicking on inner surface but does the job.

Good replacement for OEM

It's decent looking and very practical lens hood which works inverted as well. I liked the fact that it costed only a fraction of what it's OEM would have.

This is a MUCH cheaper version of the Canon hood and fits perfectly

By KEITH M.

I hate lens caps. I prefer a Hoya or Canon filter on the lens for protection. Inevitably though, I'll occasionally have an accident as I walk by something and bump it or let my camera slip out my hand or I'll go to grab the camera for a quick shot and put a big greasy fingerprint on the glass. I like to have the hood on there to protect the filter and the lens from an accident. This is a MUCH cheaper version of the Canon hood and fits perfectly.

Same as OEM

By Robert L.
