- Help Prevent flares
- Designed for the Canon EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM SLR Lens
Product Description
Lens hoods are primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact. This dedicated lens hood is designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.Amazon.com Product Description

Nothing wrong with the lens hood (except the price) but Amazon’s packing standards are TERRIBLE!!!
Little hood in a big box with a couple of inflated bags and plenty of room to shift aboput and take knocks.

I’ve honestly yet to use this in a scenario where it may be needed, but I can say that the “storage” option where you flip it and store it on the lens sucks — can barely work the zoom with it on like that!
Given the high price (as far as chunks of extruded plastic go), it seems it may be better to just use your hand or had for the same effect — after all, they both store quite conveniently!
On the good side, this did not catch on fire or kill my baby. So… I guess it’s got THAT going for it. Also, it did not explode when I touched it.

Nice hood. It’s designed for the Canon EF-S 17-85mm lens and therefore does what it’s supposed to.

My mistake obviously, but I took some erroneous online advice to use it for my Canon EF 10-22 lens and it doesn’t fit at all. Even if I monkeyed with it there’s no way it would fit.
I still gave it 4 stars because it’s a nice quality piece. Minus 1 star because they weren’t clear about the size of it.
