Customer Reviews

Spend the money for the Canon one
I'm sure some people are satisfied with this lens hood, but personally, I think you should spend the extra money and get the real Canon one that attaches via the quick release notches instead of screwing into the front of the lens or lens filter. With this one, it's kind of a pain to put on and take off since the threads on the lens or filter are very fine and you can't rush it or you might mess up the threading. I'm also not too impressed with the cheap feeling plastic material it is made out of.

bad quality thing
Although the price is low, the quality is pretty bad. The edge is not smooth even. When screwing onto the lens, it's too tight to adjust to a perfect position, also the black color can fade and make the lens thread very dirty. Pay some more and get the real canon one or just save this 10 bucks.

Don't waste your money
I 'm as much at fault for purchasing this lens hood as the manufacturer is for selling it. It's a cheap knockoff of the Canon slip notch lens hood. Spend the extra cash on the Canon. Don't bother kidding yourself and spending the money on the Opteka. I even read the reviews and thought, it can't be that bad and the price was great!. You get what you pay for. On the three Canon lenses I have, I can only screw this cover on about 1/8 of the way, and 9/10 it's on cross threaded. I'm afraid of damaging the threads on my lens. It's not worth the cost of shipping to return it so it will collect dust in a corner somewhere until it gets tossed out with the trash. Think quality and longevity, not price!!
