Canon ET-60 Lens Hood

The ET60 fits the affordable Canon 300mm lens but if you're using it with, for example, a Rebel 300D or XT, it will also fit onto the standard 18-55mm lens -- however, when fully zoomed out, part of the hood is visible, creating somewhat of a circle in the frame. I happen to think it looks really cool, gives it a fisheye sort of feel. In regards to the 300 use, it seems to work pretty well and I use it at all times -- bright sun or late afternoon. As most people probably have said, lens hoods in general not only shade the lens from stray light or weird angles of the sun (which often, without a hood, makes the photo hazy or grey) but it also provides protection for the lens itself and filter. It's not much money if you're into photography, and it makes your lens look awesome. If you're a beginner and purchased a 300mm, you don't really need to get the hood. Keep it as something to look forward to once you've got some experience. Either way it's a nice piece to use.

This item is a genuine Canon part, and it works perfectly for the 75-300mm lens. It is easy to get on and off, and also makes you look a little more pro when you have it on. I don't have any negatives at all about the hood. The only thing I would suggest: When the lens hood is on the lens, it makes it difficult to get the original lens cap on and off. I would recommend investing a few dollars in one of the lens caps where the pinch mechanism to remove the lens cap is in the center of the cap instead of on the outside of the cap. This would make it easy to get the lens cap on and off. With the original cap, I have found it easier to remove the lens cap before you put the lens hood on. That shouldn't be a deal breaker, b/c this hood is very easy to remove and put back on. Other than that, the product is exactly as described and works just like it is supposed to.

Purchased this lens hood for the Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 III zoom lens. Why use a lens hood? 1. It blocks out light from the sides which can have an effect on the proper lighting of a subject. 2. It can protect the lens from mist or dust. This is one made by Canon, so it is of a higher quality than your typical knock-off ones. The inside of the hood has a matte finish which reduces reflected light. Also, when attaching this to the lens, there's a satisfying "click" that let's you know it is locked in. It's very easy to put on and remove. In addition, when stowing your lens in your bag, you can easily remove the hood for another lens (I wouldn't use it on a lower zoom lens, like 18-55, the hood will get in the way of the image), or you can simply reverse the hood to take up less room. Great, well-made product.

I bought this because I was not entirely happy with my other hood. This works great for me so far. Another reviewer had said it works for the EF-S 55- 250 lens also, so I took the risk and bought this one. Pros It fits really well on my lens Reversible so I can just leave it on my lens when I pack my camera Cons Maybe it's just me but when it is reversed on my lens (for packing) and I have to put in on, I have to zoom out completely before it can twist itself off. Its a bit of an irritant. Overall a good buy.

I bought this lens hood for my Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens after experimenting with a few cheaper ones. I am upset that I wasted as much money on the cheaper hoods when I could have just bought this and been happy. As for the hood itself, it is a great hood, no issues with vignetting, a great fit and sturdy build. No felt lining, but for me it works out great because there is a lot of dust her in Afghanistan where I'm deployed and the lack of felt makes it easy to clean the hood. As for shipping, Amazon is amazing and got this to me in 8 days, which is exceptionally fast for a APO delivery.

This item does not fit the Canon EF-S 55-250, although advertised to be for this lens, so do not buy for this lens it will not work. Off to the Canon Dealer to purchase the correct one.

This is an odd review to write. Quality is "5" -- genuine Canon, hard plastic, great quality, not a cheap knock off. However, it clearly is intended for the EF-S 75-300 lens. It will not fit a Canon EF-S 55-250, despite some sellers' claim to the contrary. I ordered mine through Tri-State on Amazon based on that claim. There are so many lens hoods, it is confusing. When it arrived, it would not fit. The correct hood for the 55-250mm zoom is, as I have since learned, the Canon ET-63. The return policy was very specific to packing and such (I had tossed most of what they needed) so I ate the lens hood and cost. Lesson learned. So, in summary, it is a good, high-quality, genuine Canon product, but make sure it will fit your lens.

If you are looking for the correct lens hood for the EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SLR lens or the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II lens, then this is it. The construction is spot on and there should not be a worry that this won't attach to the specified lens. It can be attached to the lens in reverse for easy storage. Both aesthetic and functional, this hood does the job it was intended to do; protecting the lens from stray light and stray fingers.
